Hi Sara ,I live in Sydney NSW,I have ocular and generalised MG,I had symptoms for a few years before being diagnosed because I didn’t meet the right people to diagnose me ,I had all the signs and symptoms,and I went to doctors complaining of weakness ,fatigue and other smptons and I was seeing an optometrist for a new sight rest and I complained to her that the year before,I didn’t get the right glasses because I couldn’t open my eye lids enough and it was this lady who said,I can’t test your eyes either but I’ll refer you to an ophthalmologist who immediately suspected MG after doing some tests and ordered a blood test ,which was very specialised,she sent me to a neurologist who immediately commenced treatment .I also was difficult to diagnose because I have other neurological conditions that was being treated for by another neurologist who also worked in the same practice and found out I had MG and said ,he didn’t know how he missed that I had MG ,I don’t blame him at all because MG is rare and my other diseases had overlapping symptoms

Are you looking for a specialist in Victoria, Australia who can diagnose seronegative myasthenia gravis?

Finding the right neurologist for seronegative MG can be challenging since it requires thorough diagnostic testing to rule out other conditions and confirm the diagnosis.

Diagnosing seronegative MG is more complex than typical MG because the usual antibodies (AChR and MuSK) don't show up in blood tests. Your neurologist will need to conduct specialized testing, which may include:

* Repetitive nerve stimulation tests
* Single fiber electromyography (EMG)
* Imaging studies like MRI or CT scans
* Tests to rule out conditions with similar symptoms

The diagnostic process can take time—sometimes months—as doctors work to exclude other conditions that mimic MG symptoms.

While the search results don't provide specific doctor recommendations in Victoria, your best approach would be to:

* Ask your current GP for a referral to a neuromuscular specialist or neurologist experienced with MG
* Contact the Myasthenia Gravis Association of Victoria if they exist, as they may have specialist referral information
* Look for neurologists at major teaching hospitals in Melbourne who specialize in neuromuscular disorders

Starting treatment within six months of symptom onset tends to lead to better outcomes, so getting connected with an experienced specialist is important.
