What is Myasthenia Gravis?

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a condition characterized by the immune system producing abnormal antibodies that block muscles from receiving nerve signals. This results in muscle weakness and easy fatigue, as well as double vision, drooping eyelids, facial weakness or hoarseness.

Typical Symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis

Diagnostic Questions for Myasthenia Gravis

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Are you experiencing double vision?
  • Have you been experiencing drooping of your eyelids?
  • Do your eyes squint or cross?
  • Do you experience fatigue or low energy that worsens in the evening?
  • Do you experience fatigue or low energy that varies throughout the day?

Treatment of Myasthenia Gravis

There is no cure for myasthenia gravis, but various treatments, used alone or in combination, can relieve symptoms. Medications can improve nerve signal transmission to muscles, suppress the abnormal immune reaction, or decrease symptoms. Physical therapy is helpful for reducing symptoms as well. Myasthenia gravis is also associated with thymus gland tumors, which can be surgically removed.
