Myasthenia Gravis: Share your treatment journey

I have just been diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, but don't seem to have many of the symptoms that those with MG report. We are retesting the blood samples to confirm or refute those findings. At the present time I have some hand stiffness, but have been able to regain strength and functionality with some simple exercises. I work out daily at a health facility, doing 30 minutes of cardio and then working on weight machines..............about 10,000 pounds in the aggregate. Eye sight seems to be OK and no droopy eyelids. Not sure if this is a mild form of MG or possibly a false positive on the test. Any thoughts? And, yes, I am under the care of two neurologists, one trained at Mayo.

Hi @jlind you may have noticed I moved your post to this existing thread on Myasthenia Gravis. I did this os that you can read what others have said about this diagnosis. Click VIEW & REPLY to see what others have said in the past.

I also wanted to introduce you to @jolander @tammy72 @dragonfly430 who have all mentioned MG in the past and may be able to offer support for you as you go about finding out for sure if this is an accurate test.

@jlind how long will it be before you receive your final results?
