I lost my older brother due to MG this year.. he was only 27yrs old he was diagnosed at 21 .. This is a very heartbreaking disease I watched my brother loose his life slowly for 6yrs .. I'm not even ready to talk about it but not for one day was he sad he lived every one of those days to the fullest hheyi i thought i should let everyone who has this to get up and beat the odds against you

So, so sorry. My mother has this - she went for taking no medication to being in an ICU for six weeks on a vent! They wanted my sister & I to pull the plug but we refused. She recovered & is doing well considering everything. She can’t do much without shortness of breath - but refuses to stop, just takes little breaks. I am proud of her.✌🏽😎🌄

I have been diagnosed in 2020 and also had thymoma which is the tumor of thymus gland and was removed I only spend 25 days in hospital and was recovered in one year, but was only taking 2mg of prednisone and 250mg of Mycophenolate mofetil for 2 years, and again in March 2023 my symptoms got worsened and doctors thought my meds needs to increased then after 2 months resting at home one day I had a fall due to going up the stairs then in hospital and scans done to see if any broken bone due to the fall then found out thymoma has grown back which is called (drop metastasis ) and this time was in diaphragm so it’s removed again but this time the symptoms was very bad I have been in ICU for 8 days and had respiratory failure and all together 10 weeks in hospital and still recovering at home and reducing prednisone and recovery this time was very challenging and taking longer than the initial diagnosis 🥹😌
Awesome video.. im now a 51 y/o male .i was diagnosed with MG when i was just 25. Took a ton of tests to figure out why i was having so much weakness. It was horrible. Eventually had a thymectomy at 27 .after a few months had very little weakness. Now some slight weakness if i push it. But certainly liveable. So greatful.

How was it diagnosed and what kind of symptoms? Is this like tight muscle feeling or eye strain fatigue (but for me one eye) it feels my eyebrow but mainly near temple on one side is tight and heavier. Im in vision therapy also for binocular vision issues. Im not sure if this or just weak eye and tight face muscles from eye and tmj.

Please ask questions, referrals. I was there until 2015. What an awesome medical facility with caring and Great Doctors.

Symptoms were double vision for a couple of days the slurring speech and difficulty swallowing. He is hospital and has a feeding tube. Treatment has been started and has done well over night.

This is very interesting. I recently read a study in which children developed AChR-Ab (acetylcholine receptor antibodies) after being vaccinated with the live-attenuated Japanese encephalitis vaccine (LA-JEV) under China's childhood immunization schedule which led to them developing MG (myasthenia gravis). This suggests that AChR-Ab develops after exposure to viruses such as encephalitis. Now I have also read that nicotinic acid deficiency causes cases of acute encephalopathy so I would be curious if administration of oral or intravenous nicotinic acid would have a therapeutic effect on MG caused by AChR-Ab? Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, or nAChRs, are receptor polypeptides that respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and at the neuromuscular junction they are the primary receptor in muscle for motor nerve-muscle communication that controls muscle contraction... So wouldn't the administration of nicotinic acid possibly be a treatment for MG caused by AChR-Ab since nicotinic acid would block the antibodies?
