MG or something else
A little background: 6 months ago I was training for a marathon and began to have knee pain and fatigue. I was unable to progress with my running. I eventually stopped and the knee pain went away but the fatigued continued. I saw my GP and she order blood work (all normal), MRIs (5 in total all normal except degenerative disc disease and an old herniated disc) and 3 months ago I began to experience wobbly gait, muscle fatigue, difficulty swallowing and trouble articulating words. Saw Neurologist 2 weeks ago that specializes in MG and she said she was 99% sure by physical exam (repeated strength testing) and history that I have MG and started me on Mestonin. I had blood work for antibodies and all three were negative. I did have elevated WBC including neutrophils and monocytes. No signs of infection except the fatigue. The Mestonin seems to helping but with the variability of my symptoms and possible placebo effect I can't be sure.
Has anybody had increased WBC with MG?
