A member asked:
Would someone with myasthenia gravis need to sleep all the time?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Thoughts: The weakness causes significant fatiguability, and may exhaust, but medications could cause side effects of drowsiness. Might a Concierge visit expand upon your understanding?

Not necesarilly: You need your restful sleep whether you have myasthenia gravis or not...There is no clear association as far as i can tell between myasthenia gravis and sleepiness or lack of sleepiness.
