If you have those symptoms along with positive acetylcholine receptor (AChR) binding antibody and positive striated muscle antibody, you likely have myasthenia gravis.

Presume you are being followed by a neurologist. Your post does suggest a problem affecting the neuro-muscular junction and indeed this may be Myasthenia. There is a protocol to confirm, and this may include additional blood studies and electrodiagnostic testing. Evaluation of the thymus gland should be included. New medications are available.
