Appointment prep
Prepare for a Lambert-Eaton evaluation (non-cancer related)
Proximal weakness, dry mouth, and autonomic symptoms that improve slightly with activity are often called 'just fatigue' or misdiagnosed. Medvo helps you describe the pattern and request EMG and neurology referral — framed as evaluation, never diagnosis.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Leg weakness, difficulty rising from chairs, climbing stairs
- · Dry mouth, blurred vision, and other autonomic features
- · Symptoms that may improve briefly with repeated activity
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · EMG showing characteristic incremental response
- · VGCC antibody testing and referral to neuromuscular specialist
- · Rule out underlying cancer even in 'non-paraneoplastic' cases
If you've been dismissed
- · Weakness blamed on deconditioning or depression
- · No specialized testing despite classic autonomic + weakness combo
