Default Mike's baby sister still slowly working for diagnosis

I have seen more incompetent doctors than I care to mention. Rode in ambulance once and driven to ER once. My PCP doctor finally called in a consultant who was knowledgeable. She ordered 5 days of solu-Medrul infusions and added prednisone and time span Mestinon to my meds. Immediately referred me to my third neurologist. He says he is certain it is MG. Referring me to Gainesville MG Clinic. Ordered brain MRI, Ct scan of chest, pulmonary function test, Gillian's of blood tests, and emg. Currently my waxing and waning symptoms are double vision, squinty left eye, arm and leg weakness, difficulty swallowing, nasally speech, staggering, shallow breathing, extreme weakness and bumping into things. I have an appointment with neuro opthamologist at University of South FL in April. Wish me luck.
