Are you able to get a second opinion from a different neurologist not affiliated with the current neurologist? Especially one that “specializes” in MG, and has a good number of MG patients.

It’s my understanding that positive ACHR means you tested positive for MG. The quantitative number result does not indicate the severity of the disease, just that you tested positive for it.
