[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 419951, member: 7083"] Marg, they have determined through (another) repetitive stimulant EMG, a single fiber EMG, and a blood test for some antibody or something that I don't have MG. However, my symptoms match it almost exactly as it pertains to the muscle weakness. Fatigue is a huge debilitating factor and I don't find that when I read about MG, but have heard it from patients with MG. Then there's the fevers, inflammation, etc. Sigh...I'm so tired of this. The name of the test, apparently, is "forearm exercise test". I'm a bit confused over who does the test, as what I'm finding online seems to indicate both rheumatology and neurology. My neuro is out this week, so I probably won't hear anything about scheduling and who is doing the test until next week (since he's the one who wants to have it done). [/QUOTE]
