What Is Myasthenia?
The myasthenias form a group of rare, manageable neuromuscular conditions. Myasthenia affects people of all ages, genders, and nationalities. You never face this condition alone.
- Autoimmune conditions include myasthenia gravis, ocular myasthenia, and Lambert-Eaton syndrome. Inherited genetic faults cause congenital myasthenic syndrome.
- Doctors can effectively treat and control the condition with medication. The disease becomes fatal only in rare circumstances.
- The condition affects voluntary muscles that control your movement. It does not affect automatic muscles like your heart. Your brain sends signals to your muscles, but autoantibodies block the message.
