Default just got referred by GP to rheumatologist

This morning I had an appt with my wonderful GP. We reviewed the work that had recently been done at a local neurology clinic, which turned up nothing. The only thing it did find was an abnormal EMG.

Based on my primary symptom of major weakness in the legs (very hard to walk), he has asked me to see a rheumotologist who he works with closely.

I don't have any experience with rheumatology and don't know much about it. Have any of you ever seen one?

(Also, I asked about why the neuro tested AChR after they initially suspected MG, but no one ever tested MuSK. The GP didn't know, and was deferring to the neuro's decision that this is not MG.)
