Myasthenia Gravis is also auto immune disease if you get one auto immune you are vulnerable to get another one.I have Hashimotos and my neurologist perform bunch of test to rule out MG , one of those are Ab test for MG and also in MG you have dropping eyes/Muscles weakness. Do you have those symptoms as well.

Yes, I do.  And therein lies the confusion becasue apparently you can have these symptoms with Graves also.  I do have an appointment with neurologist coming up.  What is an Ab test?

Thanks
