Hi there,

Tomorrow or Sunday I will pull out my blood test results and post you the ranges that I was given for each one. When my holistic doc had me get the tests done, she showed me the ranges that we would like the numbers to be in and that if they were high, it meant the condition was a bit more exacerbated/present. I've noticed that when I'm doing good, the levels are lower; and then it's the opposite for when I'm not doing so well. It's interesting to keep track of!

I'd check it out now but I've gotta call it a night. But I promise to post the ranges asap.

Acetylcholine Modulating AB 77 percent

I know that these numbers, along with my symptoms, show that I have MG. But what else do they reveal about my situation?

Is that how the name reads in the blood work panel because I was looking back over my paper work and I do not see that and I read back over neuro notes and he did not say that I had negative blood work. He just said that I need any test that could diagnosis mg including muscle biopsy. So I was just curious. Is this a blood test that all hospitals could do?

My MG bloodwork goes to Mayo. My neuro-muscular Dr usually takes 12-15 vials of blood to Mayo
