If you are interested in a second opinion, I recommend the following MG specialist search to help you get started: https://myasthenia.org/Partners-in-MG-Care?fbclid=IwAR15QEvIG-1-RpvDB-nZ5Y8OkGXiQ91HIQD9laIvq9Meo27jSSTqYkISp3Y

Hi
I am sorry to hear you are having difficulty obtaining an accurate diagnosis. If you are not satisfied with the response and quality of care, a second opinion would be a wise option to consider. I included an article on getting a second opinion here - https://myasthenia-gravis.com/living/getting-second-opinion. You know your body best, and unfortunately, we have to advocate for our own health, even with medical professionals. I truly hope you find a specialist that helps get to the root case asap. I also included an article on finding a specialist -https://myasthenia-gravis.com/living/finding-doctor-specialists. In the article you find a link to the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America, where you can search for a specialist near you. I hope the helps! Sending you lots of positive vibes and hugs. -Jessica, Team Member
