Appointment prep
Prepare for a Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome evaluation
Proximal muscle weakness, dry mouth, and autonomic symptoms that improve with activity are often misdiagnosed as myasthenia gravis or dismissed as fatigue. Medvo helps you describe the pattern and request EMG and antibody testing — framed as evaluation, never diagnosis.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Weakness in legs and arms that improves after brief activity
- · Dry mouth, constipation, and other autonomic symptoms
- · Difficulty rising from a chair or climbing stairs
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · EMG with repetitive stimulation showing characteristic pattern
- · VGCC antibodies and referral to neuromuscular neurologist
- · Screening for underlying small-cell lung cancer when indicated
If you've been dismissed
- · Weakness called 'deconditioning' or 'just tired'
- · Misdiagnosed as myasthenia gravis without proper testing
