Asking for Self, Male, 24 years old, Lahore
I have been using Amygra medicine for around a decade as a temporary fix for myasthenia gravis and it is effective for some time but then the situation goes back to usual. I want to know if this abnormality if curable or not as I have this from my childhood. If it's curable then I want to know about the specialists who is expert in treating this disease so that I can get an appointment asap.
search.....dr sadaf tahir.....neurophysician...and consult her on marham online apps

for specialist you have two options
either go for rheumatologist or neurophyscian

hi...what u can do is do low impact exercises like swimming,walking,light jogging etc to give good impact over the muscles....basically the levels of acetylcholine needs to be increased in ur case which can stimulate receptors as well as provide u enough energy to perform ur day routine works n all....
u can better take an appointment from neurophysician or some good neurosurgeon as well so both could sit together n u can have both of their opinions simultaneously ...i m sure this would make ur matter solved....have a good day..

Hi!
MG is a progressive disease which can be managed under specislist care with choice of various approaches (Drug tt as you mentioned, immunosuppressive selective tt, plasmapheresis, thymus surgery etc.).
Best advised to consult a neurologist for assessment and choice of treatment.
you are young and should consider the best or combination of options for a quality life.
All the best.
This is autoimmune disease, there are 3 treatment methods available
Medicine treatment include pyridostigmine and neostigmine, u are using amygra which pyridostigmine
How many mg tablet u are using because some people we may increase doses to increase acetylcholine receptor to overcome the symptoms patient is facing
2nd therapy is immunosuppressive they which include steroid
We given short of steroid dose then tapper it to improve patient symptoms
3rd is immunomodulatory therapy if symptoms worsen we may use
Itravenous immunoglobulin which is proce result in shorter time
4th is surgical option thymectomy
In myasthenia gravis there are remission of symptom and patient can be improve with proper followup, with the medical treatment
I second this opinion.

Myasthenia gravis is sort "Manageable" disease" with really good results.
Neuro physician and Rheumatology specialist can guide you better.
yes,it is curable...
try to contact Dr Adnan Aslam HOD neurology dept SIMS/Services hospital,Lahore.
Pyridostigmine is used for symptomatic treatment only. It does not treat the underlying disease.
In the mild form of the disease, AChE inhibitors are used initially. These agents include pyridostigmine and neostigmine. Pyridostigmine is used for maintenance therapy.
Most patients with generalized MG require additional immunomodulating therapy. Immunomodulation can be achieved by various medications, such as commonly used corticosteroids.
but we can not use corticosteroids for prolonged periods due to their side effects
non steroidal immunomodulatory therapies such as azathioprine and tacrolimus are then used frequently for a period of months to years and then it is tapered down very gradually
last option is thymectomy for patients refractory to all other therapies
intravenous immunoglobulins are rapid response treatment in patients with respiratory difficulty or swallowing difficulty
so in short treatment process is quite long but however curable
the specialists who deal with myasthenia gravis are called neurophysicians
It’s curable.. it’s a mental disease of the mind.. patient needs to be positive and have a good outlook for life.. Neurologist are advised. Ambitah buchan also diagnosed with MG.. and he’s living life to the max.
yes it is treatable physiotherapy is the option consult neurologist.

AoA!
Please share any reference regarding, cure to Mg.
My wife is suffering from it and we are even unable to manage symptoms with medicines i.e. Amygra, Deltacatril, Amorin etc.
Yet, it's a well-known fact that Mg is not cureable.
