Paul,
sorry that you have been unable to have your neurologist properly treat you, my suggestion is find another neurologist, if the anti body test came back positive and your current neurologist did nothing, dump him and find another neurologist
good luck and stay positive help is out there for you

My first sign was a frozen left eye, my left eye would not move at all, I saw several eye specialists, nuclear specialists in vain, I went through several tests and nothing was found, finally my optometrist suggested I see a neurologist which I did and had the antibody blood test and was then diagnosed.
