Default Confusing dx MG with fasciculations
Hi everyone,
My uncle was first dxed as having bubar ALS. I took him for a second opnion, and after blood work, nc test and emg, they said that he has MG. He has so many antibodies in his blood that it's going to take 5 days of IVIG and plasma p and steriods to help him. But here is my question, he does fasciculate. Does any body else have this? Is it because he went too long with the wrong dx or is it his age (70)? I now this is not typical with MG.
Thanks
Perrie
