What is Myasthenia Gravis?
Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune condition that results in fatigue and weakened muscles. Someone with myasthenia gravis may feel increased weakness in their arms and legs as time goes on. One of the earliest symptoms is drooping eyelids. The weakness can also spread to other muscles, possibly affecting everyday actions such as:
- Eating
- Speaking
- Swallowing
- Breathing
- Showing facial expressions
- Standing upright
- Walking
What causes myasthenia gravis? As an autoimmune disorder, these symptoms are the result of the body’s own immune system. The body normally communicates to the body via the nervous system. But with myasthenia gravis, antibodies attack the nervous system, preventing proper communication. This is why muscles feel weak and movements become difficult.
There are other factors that affect myasthenia gravis, such as an additional illness, pregnancy, menstrual periods, and significant stress.
