Sea otter Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 Does someone have eleveted n-ACHR or g-ACHR antibodies? When all my symptoms started they were excluding a lot of things, including MG, because of variety of symptoms. n-ACHR antibodies were positive so they though it is MG. They gave me therapy, didn't work. After that I asked for second opinion, and they told these are not MG symptoms, that those antibodies don't have any significance. They were slightly eleveted three times. After I received POTS diagnosis, doctor told me that some POTS patients have eleveted n-ACHR antibodies, for some reason. I know POTS can be autoimmune, and that some POTS patients have eleveted g-ACHR antibodies. I wasn't tested for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 My Eye Dr is debating whether or not to have me tested for ACHR antibodies. He is concerned about MG but for now i mostly do not present with symptoms. I don't have POTS but do have ANS issues. Sure this does not help you but it is on my mind as well.

Sea otter Posted September 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 Thank you for your response. I have been tested pretty much on everything related to MG, and tests came back ok. So I wonder why I have positive antibodies for three times. Is this just coincidence or this is maybe pots related or something else is going on. This antibodies are little tricky, on my blood result it says they can be eleveted in some other diseases as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 I did do a trial of Pyridostigmine a while back (noticed a difference) but withdrew from it due to other issues. I think it does affect the ACHR and helps with the muscle weakness. My Dr does wants to do a second trial but is waiting on so other testing that i am going thru right now. One change at a time.
