Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the neuromuscular system. It causes muscle weakness and fatigue, as well as difficulty speaking, difficulty swallowing, and double vision. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and can flare up and recede over time. Treatment for MG typically includes medications to improve muscle strength, immune-suppressing drugs, and plasmapheresis. Coping with MG can be difficult due to the unpredictability of symptoms, but there are strategies to manage the illness. It is important to get plenty of rest and stay active, to take medications as prescribed, and to keep in touch with family and friends. Additionally, stress management techniques can be beneficial in helping to cope with MG. Through understanding and learning to manage the illness, people living with MG can have a better quality of life.
