Treat the disease : Many good treatments exist for myesthenia gravies. Medications will prolong muscle function, assistive devices to maximize performance, surgeries to keep eyes open, therapy to maintain mobility and pulmonary function. Your dad needs to see a PMR doc or neurologist to start these interventions. Family needs education regarding the disease progression and maintaining functions.
