That sounds really confusing and frustrating — especially after 3 years of treatment! It's worth understanding that MG can be genuinely tricky to diagnose, partly because symptoms can vary so much from person to person and can change over time.
One important possibility to consider is remission. MG can go into remission, meaning symptoms disappear completely. This could explain why a doctor might now say there are no signs of the condition. A MGteam member shared something similar, asking: "Is it possible to come out of remission? I was tested a few years ago, and the doctor said I had no signs in the electrode test?"
Remission is classified in different ways:
- Complete stable remission — No symptoms for over a year without needing treatment
- Pharmacological remission — No symptoms but still on some form of treatment
- Minimal manifestation — Some symptoms present but not significantly impacting daily life
Even in remission, MG can return — sometimes after years of being symptom-free. It's really important to stay alert to any returning symptoms and report them to your doctor promptly.
Seeking a second opinion from a neurologist who specializes in MG would be a very reasonable step if you feel uncertain about this new assessment.
