Yes, it is possible. Blood tests for myasthenia gravis typically look for specific autoantibodies, such as acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies or muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) antibodies. However, some people with myasthenia gravis may not have these antibodies, a condition known as seronegative myasthenia gravis. If you have concerns about your symptoms or test results, it's important to discuss them with your doctor, who may recommend additional tests like electromyography (EMG) or repetitive nerve stimulation.
