Myasthenia gravis, known as Goldflam disease, a neuromuscular disease, the muscles under our voluntary control become easily tired and weak because there is a problem with how the nerves stimulate the contraction of muscles. Typically, the muscles around the eyes are affected first, causing the eyelids to droop; some patients also develop double vision. Muscles we cannot control voluntarily, such as the heart muscles, are not affected.
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder, in which circulating antibodies cause weakness by blocking acetylcholine receptors at the post-synaptic neuromuscular junction, inhibiting the stimulative effect of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The disease is treated with immunosuppressants or cholinesterase inhibitors. Although there is no cure, treatment is effective in alleviating symptoms of arm/leg weakness, double vision, drooping eyelids, speech difficulties, chewing, swallowing and breathing. In fact, many people with the disease become completely free of symptoms after treatment. Myasthenia Gravis is serious disease, if it is not treated as soon as possible, it will cause other complications, such as neurological sign, walking difficulty, muscle injury, thymus diseases, cervical spondylosis.
