Before you are exposed to that many electromagnetic fields, ask your doctor WHY! Why all of the MRIs? Not everything is found on a scan. Will the cause of dizziness be found on an MRI? Highly unlikely. Besides, didn't you already have one (don't know which part of your body). You have the right to know why a doctor is doing tests.

When was your B12 checked? Recently? If not, they should check that again.

Many doctors tend to think multiple sclerosis instead of MG. It's as though they are in a state of denial about there being more than one cause for symptoms! Why else would he want to look at the entire central nervous system?! You have a positive MG test result. The chance of it being a false positive is very low. You should be seeing a MG expert.

There are muscles in the ear. Has the doctor thought of that? MG can affect any of our 640 skeletal muscles.

Perhaps you need a 2nd opinion before you end up having tests that may be unnecessary. Too much doctoring is just as bad as too little. In my opinion, some thinking before acting (by the doctor) may be in order.
