Whilst in hospital having tests to determine what was causing me to be experiencing problems with arm,leg, neck muscle weakness and pain and heavynes, slurred speach and problems swollowing I was given something which was injected into my hand ( unsure what it is called ,but at the time it was being given it helped control a problem I was having with my eyelid )I was ALSO prescribed medication which was half a tablet a day for 4 days ...I was the sent for a electrode test on the fourth day on my arms ,legs and a blood test was done to find out if I was suffering from Myasthenia gravis ( the blood test came back boarderline ) the electrode test come back normal . I was then informed that I did not suffer from Myasthenia gravis and discharged the medication was taken off me I recent recently vusited my optition and he asked if I was aware that I suffer from what he called drooping eyelid, which may be conected to a muscle condition.
My question is has the hospital made a mistake giving me the medication first before having the electrode test and blood test days later .I have suffered from muscle problems for over 19 yrs firstly begining with one arm and now affecting both arms , both legs, neck and suffer from slurred speach on occasions and my thoat muscles feels very weak after speaking for a amount of time

You need to find another doctor. You can still have MG even if bloodwork is negative. Don't give up--it does sound like you have MG.
