What Are The Symptoms Of Myasthenia Gravis?
Question: What is Myastiena Gravis and what are the symptoms. Thanks
Brief Answer:
It's a neuromuscular disease causing muscle weakness
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that causes muscular weakness.
The weakness can start in a particular location in the body and then become generalized. The weakness gets worse from the morning to the afternoon. It is better after rest.
In most cases the eyes are affected with bulbar muscle weakness (the muscles that move the eyeball) and ptosis (eyelid weakness).
This disease is characterized by exacerbations and remissions.
I don't know if I've presented all the information you needed.
You can ask for further details, if you'd like.
Kind Regards!
