And this is exactly why so many neurologists won't commit to a diagnosis without gold standard proof. Things just got more dicey for seronegative MGers.

Heck, even WITH positive antibodies, some neurologists won't even commit.

Doubt is the new black.

Thanks, Abby.

I'm sorry for what this man went through. But how does a doctor mistake a sleeping disorder for MG?

"Cataplexy occurs when a person experiences an emotional stimulation"

I wasn't familiar with this.
