Hello, A few months ago, I started doing some aerobic exercises. At the first time, I was feeling soreness in my muscles, but I thought that it was normal, because it was a new stress for my body. However, this condition was only getting worse, so I went to a doctor. He examined me and diagnosed me with myasthenia gravis. I know that it is a muscle weakness, I understood him that much, but I don’t know anything else about it. Is there anybody else who has myasthenia gravis and knows more then me about it?

Hi, I had troubles with chewing, talking, and swallowing, so I went to a doctor. It turned out that I have myasthenia gravis. I asked my friend who is a doctor to explain me everything about this condition, and he told me that this disorder is a muscle weakness that increases during periods of activity. That is why you had troubles with your muscles after a period of doing exercises. However, you should feel better after a period of resting. Myastenia gravis is a consequence of disregular transmission of nerve impulses to muscles. The most common symptoms are ocular motor disturbances and diplopia. Only the doctor can make decisions about your treatment, because each patient has his own history of disease.
