Question Possible MG Diagnosis

Greetings!

It appears that I may be a new member to this elite group in the next couple of weeks.

Last week Tuesday, I noticed a droopy eyelid, double-vision, fatigue, and a change in my face. Within a week I met with my optometrist, my physician, and a neurologist. I've had a Brain MRI, thyroid blood test, and blood tested for both the MG antibodies. Brain MRI and thyroid tests appear to be fine. Results are not in yet for the antibodies but next week I have an EMG and CT Chest scheduled. The Neurologist I met with mentioned MG and ordered all the tests to make sure of the diagnosis.

I've been reading all there is to read about Myasthenia Gravis. Is there something else I should be doing while I wait for all the tests to happen? I'm fortunate that my hospital has a few folks that treat MG. I just hope that I can get in to see someone and begin treatment.

Thanks for this forum....the information is invaluable.
