What should be noted when checking for myasthenia gravis antibodies?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. What should I pay attention to when getting tested for myasthenia gravis antibodies?

Doctor's answer:

Myasthenia gravis is a type of autoimmune disease, primarily caused by autoimmune antibodies attacking the neuromuscular junction, leading to symptoms such as intolerance to exertion and easy fatigue. General examinations usually require undergoing a neostigmine test at the hospital, as well as a blood test for myasthenia gravis antibodies. The results of both tests are relatively accurate.
