STRIVING FOR A CURE...
Myasthenia Gravis is a highly misdiagnosed autoimmune neuromuscular disease in which communication between nerve and muscle is impaired, causing weakness. Its primary symptoms are erratic. The most common symptoms, alone or in any combination are: droopy eye lid(s), weak arms, hands, neck, face or legs, difficulty chewing, smiling, swallowing, talking, breathing, blurred or double vision or undue fatigue. It can strike anyone at any age. MG can masquerade as over-work, under-rest, anemia, vitamin deficiency, disease of the involved organ(s), or even emotional disturbances. Its cause is unknown. There is no cure.
The MGFA, a charitable non-profit organization, was formed to serve patient needs, promote awareness and provide for research.
