Myasthenia gravis
Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune condition that weakens and fatigues muscles, especially those that regulate eye and eyelid movement, facial expression, chewing, swallowing, and speaking. A disruption in nerve-muscle communication reduces muscle fibre acetylcholine receptors and muscle function. Myasthenia gravis causes drooping eyelids, double vision, trouble eating or breathing, weakness in the arms, hands, fingers, legs, and neck, and slurred speech. Activity or daytime exposure may aggravate symptoms. Myasthenia gravis is a chronic disorder with no cure, but with proper treatment, many patients may live normal, active lives.
patients may live normal, active lives.
Myasthenia gravis problems include
Myasthenic crisis: When breathing muscles become too weak, respiratory failure ensues.
Thymus tumours: Myasthenia gravis may cause thymus tumors, which are key immune system components.
Medication side effects: Myasthenia gravis drugs may induce gastrointestinal or allergic problems.
Reduced quality of life: Chronic muscular weakness and exhaustion may make everyday tasks harder and lower the quality of life.
Emotional and psychological effects: Chronic disease may cause anxiety, sadness, and other mental health issues.
Myasthenia gravis problems may be reduced with Neurotherapy.
Neurotherapy treats inflammation, neurotransmitters, and metabolic rate.
