Myasthenia Gravis

Question

I have been using Amygra medicine for around a decade as a temporary fix for myasthenia gravis and it is effective for some time but then the situation goes back to usual. I want to know if this abnormality if curable or not as I have this from my childhood. If it's curable then I want to know about the specialists who is expert in treating this disease so that I can get an appointment asap.

hi...what u can do is do low impact exercises like swimming,walking,light jogging etc to give good impact over the muscles....basically the levels of acetylcholine needs to be increased in ur case which can stimulate receptors as well as provide u enough energy to perform ur day routine works n all....

Dr. Farah Usman · Answer

Pyridostigmine is used for symptomatic treatment only. It does not treat the underlying disease.

In the mild form of the disease, AChE inhibitors are used initially. These agents include pyridostigmine andÂ neostigmine. Pyridostigmine is used for maintenance therapy.
Most patients with generalized MG require additional immunomodulating therapy. Immunomodulation can be achieved by various medications, such as commonly used corticosteroids.
but we can not use corticosteroids for prolonged periods due to their side effects
non steroidal immunomodulatory therapies such as azathioprine and tacrolimus are then used frequently for a period of months to years and then it is tapered down very gradually
last option is thymectomy for patients refractory to all other therapies
intravenous immunoglobulins are rapid response treatment in patients with respiratory difficulty or swallowing difficulty
so in short treatment process is quite long but however curable
the specialists who deal with myasthenia gravis are called neurophysicians
