: : 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.
Thank you for doing the search..especially such a quick response!
