Antistriational antibodies ???
 
Hi, I have had dysautonomia for over 20 years and it is a genetic condition . About a year ago I found out I have EDS which is a connnective tissue disease. On my recent blood tests I was low in D, iron, ferritin and a little anemic along with a positive anti-striational antibodies test which was part of a test for myasthenia gravis but the other tests for MG were negative.
I have seen a neurologist and they did not give me any kind of new diagnosis.
The last few years I have been very dizzy and over the past year I have been lightheaded with vertigo and passing out daily if I try to do much.
I have also lost a lot of strength in my legs and have problems swallowing. I also had a skin biopsy that showed significant degenerative changes of the subcu tissues. At this point I do not even know what kind of doctor to see. I am on IVs weekly and will begin IV iron this week but since i have been getting progressively worse, i do not know what to try next. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Dino68,

You have a lot happening. I am not familiar with your conditions except for the dizziness.

That in itself is challenging. Please be careful to not injure your head.

Hopefully someone here will have an idea on a doctor for you.

Peace and wellness,

Jace :hug:

It looks like you have quite a bit going on also. The dizziness is the worst though. Thanks for your reply.
