Myasthenia gravies. My dad was recently diagnosed, we live in Ontario Canada and his doctors here don t seem to know a lot about this. He is on the same melds as he was when first diagnosed yet he is in rough shape. His biggest issue is falling, right out of the blue. What does he do when no one knows?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Myasthenia graves (MG) is a fully treatable disease, and there are good medicines available to treat this condition. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by using medicines such as pyridostigmine. Since MG is an autoimmune disease, we also need to use medicines such as steroids, azathioprine, etc. to reduce the antibody level. CT scan of the chest should be done to look for thy mic enlargement, if it is noted, then, thymectomize surgery is required. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
