Hi, Deb. Your doctors are wise to exhaust other possibilities, some of which can be immanently dangerous. But everything about your condition is consistent with MG. There is a blood test for AChR-positive and MUSK MG and you should insist on getting it right away, among the many other tests. MG usually begins with the ocular symptoms you describe. These symptoms can come and go over a period of months or even years. The sooner you are diagnosed the sooner you can begin a regimen of medication, which often takes a long time to be fully effective. Good luck and best wishes..
