Did you see a neuromuscular specialist that has a lot of experience with MG? Please see the MG of Australia link. They have an MG clinic in Sydney. If you do not feel your treatment is effective, I would try the MG clinic.

Unfortunately, MG is so rare that unless you go to a neuromuscular specialist that sees it all the time, patients often go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.

I hope you have find your answers,

Yes a couple of them were neuro-muscular specialists. If it is fibro it doesn't explain the ptosis ,the difficulty swallowing when I am tired, and the difficulty in not being able to walk more that 50 metres with leg weakness and breathlessness. My oxygen rates decrease significantly after 2 mins.
I have day and night sweats and have 2 nodules that are monitored every 6 months as I have had breast cancer twice. I aalso have orthostatic hypotension.
