Myasthenia Gravis

What is Myasthenia Gravis?

  

Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disease that affects all ages, races and genders. MG symptoms include weakness in muscles that control eye movements and eyelids, chewing, swallowing, coughing, facial expressions, arm and leg movements, and breathing, which can be detrimental to one's health..

The prevalence of MG in the United States is estimated to be about 1 out of 5,000.
