I have not been diagnosed with MG but am curious because of some new symptoms I am experiencing. How were you initially diagnosed? Do you have problems with your eyes? My eyes have been going out of focus several times a day and my eye dr has noticed my eyelids drooping recently. I will be seeing my rheumatologist soon and will ask him questions. I hope you have a healthy, happy New Year.

I've been diagnosed with SERO-NEGATIVE MG.
Its diagnosis requires the presence of weakness with fatigability, determination of positive anti-MuSK antibodies and alterations in neurophysiological testing of the neuromuscular junction. It is usually more serious and has a poorer prognosis than the seropositive forms, develops in an acute or subacute manner, and the neurological deficit predominates in the facial, bulbar and respiratory muscles.
