A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle weakness: Nerves and muscle disorders can give pictures similar to that of myasthenia gravis especially if the facial muscles and the muscles of the shoulder and pelvic girdle are involved. Please make sure that you have the proper diagnosis for myasthenia gravis. You will need blood tests for antibodies, and repetitive stimulation studies or even single fiber emg. You must be taken care of by a neurolog.
