summary

These days, I've been lying in bed and I can't get out of bed and walk at all. Sometimes I can't stand up at all. I often fall when I walk. I go to the hospital for examination. The doctor says it's myasthenia gravis. After a lot of treatment, let's talk about how to diagnose myasthenia gravis.

I would also like to emphasize that myasthenia gravis patients tend to get worse in bad mood and cold seasons in winter and spring. The patient must keep a good mood, improve the confidence of conquering the disease, pay attention to keep warm and cold in winter and spring, reasonably use effective drugs for myasthenia gravis, and prevent the recurrence of the disease.
