It took a long time to realize that I was going round in circles myself and even being caught between them! A few months ago I set out to find a straight and direct line out….. I was semi diagnosed abroad with myasthenia but there wasn´t much mileage with that diagnosis here in my own country and that caused all sorts of problems.
I ended up finding a
new doctor (only 10 mins from my house) who is AMAZING!!!!!!! First of all, he is only a general practitioner but is quite supportive to the fact that I may be negative in all the tests and
still have myasthenia and he is willing to work
with me on this.
He not only has a good attitude but he also referred me DIRECTLY to the university hospital´s neurophysiological laboratory for RNS, EMG, and SFEMG testing in just 2 months time (I didn´t know they could just bypass the neurologists like that!)
Got the letter in the post just 2 minutes ago and though the tests I think are kind of a few years late in coming, getting them is a milestone in itself.
Thanks for everyone´s help so far – the forum is great for info, support and in my case staying grounded!
Happy Summer everyone
