Better treatment for myasthenia gravis

summary

I have a good appetite but I can't swallow anything. When I drink water, I either choke into my trachea to cause a cough or flow out of my nostrils. Dyspnea is one of the most serious symptoms of myasthenia gravis, which can cause death in a short time, so it is also called myasthenia gravis crisis. So we must do a good job of the disease related work, then myasthenia gravis better treatment.

Better treatment for myasthenia gravis

Treatment 1: the application of anti cholinesterase drugs do not use the first phase of dosing, from the minimum dose of 30-60mg / time, 2-3 times / day, maintain the dosage for more than a week, according to whether the symptoms improve or not, and then gradually increase the dosage, when the symptoms begin to improve, maintain the dosage.

Treatment 2: after remission, the dosage gradually decreases: when the dosage reaches a certain degree and the symptoms are relieved, maintain the dosage for one week, then decrease by 1 / 3, maintain for 1-2 months, if the symptoms do not worsen, decrease by 1 / 3 again, and seek the minimum effective dosage within this range. If the dosage reaches 240 mg / day, the symptoms can not be effectively improved, the combination of immunosuppressants should be considered.

Treatment 3: avoid drug overdose: long term and large-scale use of anticholinesterase drugs may lead to accumulation of acetylcholine. If there are symptoms such as conscious neck tightness, nausea, vomiting, sweating, finger shaking, muscle tremor, local muscle numbness, significantly lower heart rate, and excessive stool frequency, it usually indicates that the dosage of drugs has exceeded, so the dosage should be reduced in time.

matters needing attention

I would also like to emphasize: lower limb muscle weakness exercise should master the rhythm of the movement. The exercise of patients with muscle atrophy has certain requirements in the time interval. Muscle has enough rest time, fatigue can be fully eliminated, the consumption of nutrients can also be fully compensated, and through excessive compensation make muscle gradually hypertrophy. On the contrary, if the exercise is too frequent, the muscle can not get enough rest, muscle strength can not be enhanced. Therefore, exercise should pay attention to rhythm, not the more the better.
