Myasthenia Gravis Question

Posted By Dan on May 26, 1997 at 17:32:40:









My mother-in-law has just been diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. She would like to know if others have had symptoms like hers and if the treatments seemed to have helped. Her symptoms are as follows: She cannot hold her head up, so her chin drops down to her chest. Also it feels as if she has 100lbs on her shoulders and back. Her most pronounced problem is her neck muscles dont seem to have any strength. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
