: I have been experiencing mg type symptoms for several weeks now..am soon to be 55..am diabetic.  The M.D. is doing the antibody test for acetycholine receptors, so dx is not definitive.  I have been taking 300 mg St. John's wort 3 x/day for about 6 months, and am wondering if there could be any connection?  Thanks for any thoughts..Ann




I have performed a 30 year literature search on this topic and there is no
reference in the scientific literature to any link between myasthenia gravis
and St John's Wort.
