Extreme fatigue after getting my blood drawn. is it just in my head?

No: Many people have this problem. It can be due to low iron stores-ferritin. Getting blood drawn decreases ferritin stores and can increase fatigue. Take iron if this is the problem. Others find that taking d ribose-a simple sugar only your body produces can help with this fatigue, this is great if low ferritin is not your problem.

I got a blood test for MG because of drooping eyelids and double vision that get worse with fatigue. The test came back negative for both AChR and MuSK antibodies. Does this rule out the possibility or could it still be MG? I only have eye symptoms?
