cataplexy misdiagnosed as MG
 

And this is exactly why so many neurologists won't commit to a diagnosis without gold standard proof. Things just got more dicey for seronegative MGers.

Heck, even WITH positive antibodies, some neurologists won't even commit.

Doubt is the new black.

Thanks, Abby. ;)

I'm sorry for what this man went through. But how does a doctor mistake a sleeping disorder for MG?

"Cataplexy occurs when a person experiences an emotional stimulation"

I wasn't familiar with this.
