Gosh, I am sorry to hear this Ethel and I really hope you had some good news from the doctor this morning.

Does anyone know if there is a cure for this?

[bigmamma]

Funnygirl, according to Moonshadow response in the link Mamma posted it seems there's hope for improvement and possibly a cure for it - ( "They put him on medication and he slowly came back to good health".)

[smudge]

Thank you for that link bigmamma - I've just posted a few kind words to Ethel on there.

Sleep well my lovely. -xx-

[weeal]

hope she's back on again soon

I posted a link to a site for those concerned. It says "Using the array of therapies that are now available, more than 90 percent of patients return to near-normal function."

[bigmamma]

Hello and thankyou for your posts for Ethel , good idea to post on her thread too in case she doesn't see this one yet . :-) xxxxxxxxx

Hello mamm, hope you are well xx

I never knew Ethel was unwell, hope all is getting sorted Ethel, come back soon, Please, we need you, take care and hope to see you with us very soon. xx

[Ethel]

Oh! Thank you all very much.

Yesterday's tests were either inconclusive or negative - but as the condition is very hard to diagnose this does not prove I don't have it.

To cut a long story short, the consultant I saw yesterday has referred me to a leading expert of myasthenia.

So I shall just have to wait.

Thinking of you Ethel.xoxoxoxoxo

[raysparx1]

Hello Ethel, Hope things get sorted for you real soon, I must admit I had never heard of it before, lets hope they come up with some positive news for you in the near future, take care and good luck, Ray xx

[bigmamma]

Morning Ethel , pleased you are going to be seen by an expert who will be able to treat your condition accordingly .
It is lovely to see you this morning , as always :-) xxx

[cazzz1975]

That is a relief ethel, At least seeing a specialist will give you a good chance of finding out if it is myasthenia gravis and putting your mind at rest.

[LoftyLottie]

Ethel, I should like to add my good wishes to all the others. I hope this is sorted out for you very quickly. You are highly thought of on AB and you know we are all thinking of you. xx

If you have occular MG Ethel the antibody tests in a high proportion of people come back negative, so I'm told. I am so pleased they are sending you to a MG specialist, it must put your mind at rest a little. You never cease to amaze me when you find the answers to such difficult questions, answerbank needs you so hears hoping you will soon be on the road to recovery.Good Luck, keep steadfast and please keep us posted.
