head weakness

Is there a definitive test for MG?

I recall seeing a specialist who ruled it out - but that was about 7 years ago now.

Rest assured, it quite possible that everyone here has come to that at one point of "freaking out".

I dont remember if MG testing was a combo of physical testing and a blood marker test or not...........but my LLMD suggested I go to a Nuero to get checked out. (And you know I cant stand the typical Nuero Dr). Whatever the case,she said I didnt have MG.

I did not have much faith in that Dr (or any other Nueros I've seen) but never got that checked again as I improved. This happened at my time of being most "toxified" during dual lyme and candida treatment.

Thanks astro. what were your symptoms that made you suspect it?

I think it was an Endocrinologist who ruled out the MG
- physical exam. Looking for weakness - particular in the eye movements.

I did read that sometimes an EKG and NCS is used.
I had both of those tests but that was many months after the MG was ruled out.

mg just describes a set of symptoms in latin! +for me, the dystrophy and muscle atrophy was bartonella and borellia affecting the nerves so much so that circulation was impaired and tissue died . excreted in a rhambyladosis kinda way with protein in urine ..there a few threads addressing this wasting syndrome associated with msids questioning prions , mycoplasma, cpn or symian viruses as the true cause of the rapid weight muscle mass loss. some call it cutaneous fat layer but when i saw veins popping it was more like the rest was receding.... measure your neck circumference now and later for reference and confirmation.... ......thyroid , protein assimilation , adrenals etc are all peripherals that require attention and sometimes support but many systems corrected themselves when the insult and injury was removed from the picture...
