How To Manage Myasthenia Gravis

Myasthenia gravis is a disease that causes weakness and rapid fatigue to any muscles under an individual's voluntary control. The cause is a break in the communication between muscles and nerves. While no cure exists, there are treatments to help relieve the symptoms and signs. The condition is most common in men over sixty years old and women under forty. Symptoms can occur in a number of areas on the body. The condition most commonly presents with dropped eyelids or double vision first, then progresses to other systems. Weakness is felt throughout the body, but it's more common in the arms than the legs.
