Myasthenia GravisMyasthenia Gravis is a disease which should be considered anytime someone is suffering from muscle weakness of severe muscle fatigue. The symptoms can be quite varied ranging from eye drooping or double vision all the way to severe weakness of breathing muscle which would necessitate the use of a breathing machine or ventilator in order to survive. The diagnosis of myasthenia can often be very difficult and should be done by a neurologist with expertise in disease of the nerve and muscle. We at Phoenix Neurological Associates have cared for patients with mysthenia for over 25 years. Being sure that the diagnosis is correct is extremely imprtant in myasthenia since it is always a treatable disease but the drugs used to treat myasthenia frequently have unwanted side effects. Therefore before beginning therapy one should be certain of the diagnosis. Myasthenia Gravis Symptoms
