Myasthenia Gravis Question

Myasthenia Gravis Question

Hi,

I am 28 years old and was diagnosed with MG 5 months ago. My only symptom at that time was a droopy eyelid and I got tests done, and I was diagnosed with MG after tests. Here's my question. If MG is not progressive, then why has my MG symptoms gotten worse? I'm experiencing way more symptoms now then I did 5 months ago.  Like I said, I used to only have a droopy eyelid. Now, I'm slurring when I talk, I have double vision, my fingers tire when I type, so I can't type like I normally do, and I'm weak in my arms and tire easily now.

Thank you,
Heather

Hi Dear,
Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder resulting in weakness and fatigability of skeletal muscles, due to auto-antibodies directed against acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at neuromuscular junctions (NMJs).
How did they diagnose Myasthenia Gravis?
What investigations were being done?
What medications are you on?
Is it pyridostigmine? If yes, what dose it is?
I think the dose of pyridostigmine could be less, which needs to be increased.
