Myasthenia Gravis (MG)

10 Comments

Connie from Brain Foggles commented on this site and while I was reading over her blog, I saw that she has Myasthenia Gravis (MG). I had never heard of MG before this, so I was interested to go and find out more about it.

Myasthenia Gravis means grave muscular weakness. According to the MGFA Foundation of America, the most common form of MG is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that is characterized by fluctuating weakness of the voluntary muscle groups.

Approximatey 20 people out of every 100,000 are afflicted with this illness. It is believed that the illness is underdiagnosed, so it’s possible the actual number of MG sufferers is higher.

Common symptoms of MG are blurred/double vision, a drooping eyelid, slurred speech, chewing/swallowing difficulty, arm and leg weakness, breathing difficulties, chronic muscle fatigue.

There are different tests done to determine the diagnosis of MG. You can read more information on that here:

    I have sero negative non musk MG . It took about 10 years and near death to diagnose it. I am on many meds…IVIG which helps but I always get aseptic meningitis. The jeat is killing me as well as stress and trying to keep working. I have lost all libido surprise…and am trying accupunture. I think it is either making it worse, or it is the heat. I am having to back off prednisone due to side effects and that puts me back. I ‘ve had a thymectomy and I am just losing my camel straw. I can not do housework..have had a hard time with getting catastrophic leave and have no ability to have fun for lack of better words.
    No one knows what it is and sometimes you look “good so they think nothing is wrong. I feel like death . I was told to quit but cannot and have no support from spouse who is ill with type 1 diabetes and has had stroke, heart stents, pad stents, emotional and verbal problems …I am wondering if you have any news on sero negative or MG and ester antisense drugs to try soon. Guess I am desperate .
    Thanks for listening.

    Joan:
    Google Revimmune + myasthenia; this looks like a potential treatment which could greatly improve or cure MG.

    I had myasthenia gravis since 2015. I got medically discharged out of the Army, a job I loved well. My heart had 5 myasthenic crises, 3 being severe enough to be ventilated or require CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) helmet. I have had countless plasma exchanges as my veins are bad. I also needed Hickman lines inserted. I have been on azathioprine, mycophenolate (CellCept), methotrexate and none have worked. I’m currently done with my herbal remedy I purchase from totalcureherbsfoundation .com which has totally cured my condition with a surprise after almost four months of their usage, I was discouraged and never thought I would be myasthenia gravis (MG) free ,to me the best to get rid of this condition is totalcureherbsfoundation com treatment because all medications I used never worked include mycophenolate (CellCept).

    I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis in 2014, 2 years after they removed a tumor on my thymus. It’s been an okay road. Had one flare which put me in the hospital 4 years ago and this previous year I have been in and out of the hospital trying to see which treatment can get me back feeling 100% again. Pyridostigmine bromide just makes me nauseous all day and didn’t help my droopy eye or swallowing so I need to try something else which was natural herbs recommendation from multivitamincare. org This herbal treatment has successfully cure my MG and am 100% free ,I completed the herbal treatment program last year December and am very delighted i came across their website.it starts in the eyes and face then bulgar muscles , without treatment or the proper dosages of treatment it goes on to my limbs and then neck and breathing muscles but I can happily say that am free from MG after taking my chances to try natural herbs ,my neurologist was surprise after my result of being totally cured with herbal cure from the org.
