Myasthenia Gravis Diagnosis
To diagnose myasthenia gravis, your ophthalmologist can conduct tests, including:
- a blood test to look for abnormal antibodies
- neurological examination of your physical condition and mental skills
- a nerve stimulation test of the electrical activity in your muscles
- a test with a nerve stimulant called edrophonium chloride. Your doctor will inject it to see if you have temporary improvement in your muscle strength
