New progress of myasthenia gravis

summary

Botulinum toxin was injected two weeks ago. Now it causes myasthenia gravis, blepharoptosis, inability to lift eyelids and weakness. Now it's much better. I'd like to share with you the experience of the new progress of myasthenia gravis.

New progress of myasthenia gravis

Symptom 1: congenital myasthenia gravis syndrome is rare, often autosomal recessive inheritance. The defect may be presynaptic, synaptic or postsynaptic. Most of the cases originate from postsynaptic membrane and are due to the defect of acetylcholine receptor. The number of patients with onset before 2 years old was more than that of adolescents, and the onset was progressive.

Symptom 2: children with congenital myasthenia gravis syndrome generally have less fetal movement before birth, and onset at birth or shortly after birth. The level of acetylcholine receptor antibody in blood is not high, and plasma exchange therapy is ineffective, so it is different from acquired autoimmune myasthenia gravis.

Symptom 3: born to a non myasthenia gravis mother, the symptoms are mild but persistent at the onset, often accompanied by facial myasthenia, which can affect feeding. General weakness is dispensable, but generally not serious. There was no complete remission.

matters needing attention

Here I would like to remind you that the use of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of patients with myasthenia should gradually decrease western medicine after the patient's condition has improved and stabilized for a period of time. The doctor in charge should observe the condition of inpatients and decide the time and dosage of decreasing. Patients taking medicine at home must consult the doctor before making the decision of decreasing the western medicine, and they should not withdraw the western medicine by themselves, so as to cause recurrence or aggravation of the disease.
