Default Single Fiber Test

I have a question about this test. My sister had this test done at UNC last Tues and the Dr said he would call her with the results by that Fri. Well we haven't heard a word from him. He also took some bloodwork and had some photos of her "sagging" face that he was going to show a Neuro-opt. He was most puzzled by her "sagging" face. Said he had never seen this before. I thought the single fiber results were instant. The Dr himself conducted the test.

My sister said "What really puzzled him was how I was having (haven't had one in last week or so!) these episodes where I could see my eyelids falling down. Here's the kicker: these episodes would only last for 20 or 30 seconds and then ease off. Now this is in addition to my eyes dropping at the end of the afternoon when I get really tired. Left eye drops more than right. But he said that he had never heard of these sudden short "episodes" occurring with MG. The first time it happened it scared me slap to death!"

Thanks,
Mike
