A few approaches: I would guess you are asking about myasthenia gravis. A surgical thymectomy may actually be curative in an occasional pt. Otherwise, use of mestinon, (pyridostigmine) steroids, ivig or chemotherapy chemicals can control the disease quite well.

Depends: About 1/3 can see spontaneous remission, 1/3 stabilize on chronic medications, and 1/3 have progressive difficulties. In appropriate candidates, minimally invasive thoracic surgery to remove thymus (thymectomy) can possibly cure or stabilize disease or decrease amount and/or types of meds.
