Jana, Blood tests for clotting disorders like Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome are easy. APS is fairly common for MGers to have.

That's great you got in so quickly. I'm sorry you're having symptoms. You might want to ask them to test for pernicious anemia (parietal cell antibodies and intrinsic factor antibodies). Also, they can check stomach pH when they do an upper endoscopy but they have to think to do it! They really should figure out if you are producing acid or not or are producing a smaller amount.

The prep isn't fun but the procedures are so quick. They might have to keep you in recovery longer, due to the MG. I had to do that. Any anesthetic drugs are harder to recover from.

They can monitor both your ECG and O2. I also really hope they look for signs of celiac disease in the small intestine.

Whatever is going on, I hope you find answers and can stop this from happening. How exhausting to not be able to eat without symptoms!
