Confused Preparing for am EMG

I am scheduled for a single fiber EMG in two days. So far all my blood work has not showed MG and the regular EMG was also negative. I am on Mestinon and it is helping me significantly. I am very concerned that if this test does not show MG that my neuro will take me off the Mestinon. I stopped taking medicine as of this morning in preperation for the test and am already feeling my eye lids get heavy although my arm and leg weakness are relatively unchanged(yet).
My question is that if i dont feel overly weak by the time of the test, would be advisable to try to fatigue my muscles before it is administered. I know better than to try to over do it, but would it help the accuracy of the test if my muscles are a little fatigued and feeling weak?
