Blood results - is it MG?

Hi
I am just wondering if you saw the doctor and got an MG diagnosis as I'm 0.59 so similar to you? 😊

There are different tests for that antibody. I had one from PCP and the threshold for MG was .5 nmol/L or higher. That test was processed in a lab located in Utah. Since I live 3.5 hours away from Rochester MN I decided to go the Mayo Clinic for confimation and a treatment plan. Mayo clinic has there own tests which not only for the AChR binding antibody but also the AChR modulation antibody. I was positive on all tests. The threshold for AChR binding antibody on the Mayo tests .02 nmol/L. You should consult with your physician and if you have further questions see a neurologist and have an EMG test. I hope that this helps you.

My grandmother had MG my mom definitely has the bent neck, swallowing issues and no voice for years! I now ans seeing more and more symptoms coming out at 54. I have a tendency to …just fall, issues with walking. My partner says I’m dragging my leg! The feel heavy and so do my extremities. I have had the cross eyes but didn’t even think it had anything to do with MG. I don’t have the droopy eyes by they feel heavy often. Also, I was diagnosed with systemic lupus.
