Well, while they call this a "bedside screening," they said the diagnosis was confirmed with a positive AChR antibody test. Even that's not enough for some neurologists. They sometimes say to patients "MG antibodies are positive in normal people too."

I'm certainly not being sarcastic towards you or the information! I should probably not respond to posts like this. Too much "pooh-poohing" by neurologists after OVERWHELMING evidence of MG.

Sorry, Abby, I didn't mean to inject doubt. I personally look at ALL evidence whenever solving a problem. I even have an excerpt in my book about this "MG Expert Crisis" and how inconsistently they diagnose and treat patients with MG and how they need to look at ALL of the evidence; even photos.
