Which type of diseases could be mistaken for myasthenia gravis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rep stim studies: Many diseases that give few muscle weakness especially that of the muscles of the face, shoulder and pelvic girdle can give symptoms similar to myasthenia gravis. You need to have nerve conduction studies and repetitive stimulation studies to differentiate these diseases from one another. Please have yourself be evaluated by a neurologist or specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
