My husband told me that I eat way too fast since it takes everyone twice as long to eat than me. I know consider the possibility that I don't chew my food and I eat too big pieces and that has contributed to this as well. I do hope you feel better soon!
This is quite possible. When it first began, my face hurt terribly. So I feel that it was attacked also. When I am having a "flare", chewing is exhausting. So possibly, I just don't chew enough.

I called my neuro and the resident who returned the call said to go to my regular gp. He said it didn't sound SFN related. So......

One characteristic sign of MG is muscles fatiguing with use, and with a short rest, go back to normal.

MG (myasthenia gravis), can have a tumor in the thymus, which compresses the windpipe and esophagus. This is called a thymoma.

Thymoma - Symptoms and Signs | Cancer.Net

So far you have posted at least 3 of these symptoms so far here.
This is not common, and usually benign, but may rarely be a cancer.

MG is an autoimmune disease.

I just checked my medical records from my first neurologist--Jan 2015. He must have checked for this. The antibody for this (AcHR) was 23. Above 32 is positive. Evidently he was concerned about this also.

Copied from the report: AChR Binding Autoantibodies < 0.25 < 0.25 -

There are patients with MG symptoms that are "seronegative".

Example on PubMed:
Seronegative myasthenia gravis: disease severity and prognosis. - PubMed - NCBI

If you type in "seronegative" into the MG forum first page search, you will find many people who are asking questions about this.
