Hello everyone
I received a call today from my neurogest as my appointment was cancelled she said I now don't have myasthenia gravis that i was diagnosed with in early January but bellspalsey as you was diagnosed with it in 2011 but I would not have it this long, I mentioned my breathing and head feels heavy neck cracks but not interested I told her I want to see a new neurogest she said OK and hung up on me I have called my doctor for advice but still waiting for a call back.
I don't know what to do any more I have spoken to people with MG and all of them say it's myasthenia gravis.
Can anyone please help me it's cracking me up.

Obviously we can't provide medical advice here, but aside from waiting to speak to your GP, have you thought about speaking to PALS?
Hopefully your GP will be able to arrange to refer you for a second opinion.

She said I was diagnosed with bellspalsey in 2012 and that's what it is I tried telling her about my breathing but didn't want to know so asked for a second a pinion and said OK I will sort it and hung up on me.
Problem is I also suffer from NF1 and had neuroendocrine cancer 2 times both tumours removed. But my doctor always says he can not help me only my neurogest but she is no good.

Sorry i can not give you any more advice.

Hello again yes I think you should be ok to have a room with your carer as long as you are happy with with that it's a lot better than a car .
Can you find another specialist or not? Is it possible to make a complaint in addition about the doctor who was quite unprofessional? Definitely try to request a second medical opinion. Keep a diary of all symptoms as well. This is always a good idea no matter what. It will ultimately help you in the process of getting a correct diagnosis. I have been to a unholy number of doctor and therapy appointments in the past three years alone. So I have met a lot of specialists.
Do not be embarrassed to do so either. I have gone to another pediatric doctor for more advice and support when the first doctor was stupid and rude. Also email or call up patient advocate services tomorrow morning in addition to complain about the behavior of that doctor. Perhaps they can be of help. I am praying for you too. I recommend calling her back pronto or emailing her. Or ask for the secretary.
Hopefully you will have some clear answers soon. Have you had any tests done recently? If so what were the results? Regarding the new diagnosis, ask her to explain to you why. Have a short list of questions to ask her. You can find a contact number to call up on all your appointment letters located right at the bottom of the letter. Make some brief notes during the phone call as a means of future reference and also for your peace of mind. Feel free to ask us additional questions if you need to do so.
Start with your family doctor. Ask him or her for a referral pronto. My advice is to find another good specialist who can help you to figure out exactly what to do. Let us know what happens next.

Thank you for your message I received a letter today from my neurologist saying that she is going to send a referral to Dr Jacob at the QE Hospital in Birmingham I understand he specialis in MG also my own doctors need to sort out my breathing problems asap but I think this as been done but waiting for my appointment.but with the current situation everything is on hold
She still says she don't think it's MG then she says that I need to inform the DVLA about my MG condition it all very confusing .
I have had the fine needle test and that come back positive saying the I had some weakness and no reaction under my left eye , I have also had stroke like symptoms with mouth and voice so no one can understand what I was saying I'm also very tired no matter how much sleep I have , dizziness and light headedness that feels like I'm drunk and had none .
Hopefully I will get my appointment soon but hospitals are not taking any appointments with CODIV19 .
Sorry if I gone on
Take care everyone.
