I was tested in sept after a severed episode of double vision. It was negative. Double vision did not no away and in jan the dr did test again. That time it was positive. She said it has a high rate of false negative. She also suggested I use a different lab for the second one.

I was tested at diagnosis and tested positive, I was tested again 4 months post Thymectomy and tested negative......but I also felt amazing at that point.

I'm now feel terrible again and would be curious as to what the results would be now. I'm going to push for another test to see where I'm at.
