Default newbie here, possible myasthenia gravis

Hi, all. This looks like a very informative website. Let's see, I'm 52 years old and have very weak arm & leg strength. Sometimes I can barely get up & out of a chair. It feels like I'm just worn out all the time. Also my right eyelid has been drooping a lot, my right eye twitches back & forth and sometimes it's hard to think of the right words correctly. Went to an ophthalmologist, who tested my eyes & had a blood test done for Acetylcholine receptor Ab profile, which came back negative. Then went to a Neurologist who did some reflex tests & ordered some more blood work. Next week I have an MRI & an ARI scheduled. Then a week after some nerve/muscle tests. Maybe I'll have an answer soon. Plus my dog has diabetes & I think his Pancreas is acting up. I'm more worried about him than myself right now. He's always there for me no matter what. I can't afford to take him to the Animal Hospital again, but he's had this before and has gotten over it at home. I waiting for work to send me my FMLA papers, test results to come back & then I can see where I'm at. Hopefully my dog "Chico" will get better soon.
Thanks, Everyone.
