summary

Recently, the second uncle always says that he doesn't have the strength to do other things, especially in the evening or after work in the afternoon. At this time, he feels weak and can't use any strength. Sometimes he has difficulty breathing. After the examination, the doctor said it was the cause of myasthenia gravis. After taking the medicine for 2 days, I obviously felt that it had improved. Let me share with you the experience of early symptoms of myasthenia gravis.

Early symptoms of myasthenia gravis

Symptom 1: the age of onset can be divided into different groups, and the incidence of female is more than that of male.

Symptom 2: extraocular muscles are the most common involved muscles, followed by muscles dominated by cranial nerves, neck muscles, scapular band and hip flexors. Extraocular muscle disorders produce unilateral or bilateral blepharoptosis, strabismus and diplopia. When the facial muscles are involved, the wrinkles are reduced and the facial expressions and movements are weak. When the masseter muscle is involved, it is difficult to eat and chew continuously, and the rest should be interrupted. When the muscles of medulla oblongata are involved, dysphagia occurs, continuous swallowing is not possible, drinking water is choking and coughing, voice is gradually low, and nasal sounds appear after speaking more. If the neck muscle is involved, the head is weak. Limb muscle often tired limb muscle weakness, such as upper limb lifting difficulties, lower limb walking weakness.

Symptom 3: myasthenic crisis is a crisis in which the medulla oblongata dominating muscles and respiratory muscles are severely weak, so that the ventilation function cannot be maintained. If not rescued in time, the patient's life will be endangered. Myasthenia crisis is the main cause of death.

matters needing attention

Here I want to give you warm tips: Patients with myasthenia should pay attention to reasonable daily life, get up on time to rest, do not stay up late, usually should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, to avoid overwork, patients with poor physical resistance because of the disease, so we should pay special attention to the prevention of cold infection, because cold infection often leads to the recurrence or further development of the disease, and will further reduce the risk of patients Resistance, creating opportunities for other diseases to invade. This is also one of the prevention of myasthenia.
