Hi everyone,

I recently has my Myasthenia blood panel drawn again (its been two years?) and my results came back positive, which I expected. I've not been doing well with walking and I'm concerned my MG is progressively getting worse.

My question is this:

My doctor told me my levels are "elevated" but I'm not sure -how- elevated?
I cannot find a ref. range anywhere except for what constitutes as a "Positive" result. I know everyone is different but I am really curious where I stand (or, more realistically, where I fall. Hah! Get it?! A bad MG joke! )

Results are:

Binding Receptor Ab: 253.45 h nmol/L
Blocking Receptor Ab: 52 H % of inhibition
Modulating Receptor Ab: 92%

striated muscle always comes back negative

Does anyone else with generalized MG have similar results?

Thank you in advance to all who respond!

Lin, Haha! Funny, yet not.

What lab did they send your tests to? Do you have a copy of them? Every lab has a slightly different test range.

Your numbers are really high. And with a modulating that high, I'm surprised they are talking about your thymus. Have you had a thymectomy? Or a CT of the thymus?

What drugs are you on right now?

I'm sorry you're doing worse. The numbers don't necessarily reflect that, however, the appear to in your case!
