What is Myasthenia Gravis?
Myasthenia Gravis is not an ordinary disease it is a neuromuscular disorder which involves the muscles and nerves controlling them. This is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the muscles and nerves that help to control their functionality. In this case weakening of the voluntary muscles occurs especially when a person is performing an activity. It gets worsened when a patient is not at rest and is constantly moving. In case of body movements this disorder gets even worst and improves when a patient is at rest and not performing any activities as such. It causes major hindrance in the routine life activities as patients are unable to perform even the simplest actions so far such as drinking water, eating, swallowing, walking, standing up and such other events.
