Hi Bob,

You have certainly collected quite a list of problems there.

I was given a blood test and told that I have a positive result for MG antibodies.
If it was a single blood test then you are probably positive for AchR antibodies. The reason for my questioning it is simply that MG can come in a variety of flavours, and the treatment for each variant can vary. Heck the treatment for each patient can and does vary.

I'm not sure what you meant by "it might be that the Neuro was blaming some of your existing problems on MG." but there is no doubt at this point that I have MG.
What I was concerned about was that the Neuro might be blaming MG for some of the symptoms that your other conditions are responsible for. In which case he might be over-reacting. For instance the
Quote:
I can barely walk... I stop breathing in my sleep.
Both of these could be due to MG, but could also be due to other conditions. Are these new symptoms or old ones?

Let us know how you get on with a smaller dose... and get back in contact with your Neuro.
