Default How long is too long?

How long is too long before seeing a neurologist about my positive test results (Achr mod ab 85- others negative). My PCP who ordered the tests admitted that she isn't sure how to interpret the data since only one Ab was positive. I called the neuro who saw me a few months ago (working up for MS) and he is out this week and most of next week due to the holiday. I'm sure if I call around the wait will be even longer for a new patient. My PCP is faxing my lab results to the neuro, and he will look at them when he comes in on Monday to see when he wants to "fit me in".

I just want someone to tell me I either DO have MG, or I MAY have MG and more tests are needed. Was anyone out there diagnosed on blood work alone? I feel like my medicine I took this morning is "stuck" and I have to work to swallow today, but I really don't trust myself right now after having several doctors tell me I'm "fine". Maybe I'm just having a bit of an anxiety attack? How will I know the difference??

Thanks all for putting up with a slightly freaking out new friend
