Sorry to hear you got MG.

Pls be careful with this disorder, because may attack system respiratory failure.

The sign is drop of eye lips.

Here is the diagram of MG.

May it help.

You need to see Neurologist asap.

Cheers

I have sarcoidosis and MF. Sorry to hear you are also affected by two diseases!

Sorry to hear this. It can be overwhelming at times when you have more than one condition to cope with - do you know what treatment you will be receiving?

(Like ArtyDutch I have pulmonary sarcoidosis (since 2006) and ET (since 2014) and fibrosis diagnosed last year).

Appreciate your thoughts! Dealing with ET is a challenge sometimes. Other issues do come along. I wish you well in dealing with your health!!

Thanks

While there are treatments for MG, you should want to watch the progress of this new treatment, Nipocalimab, that uses a new mode of action. Just reported last week:

prnewswire.com/news-release...

With a successful phase 3 result they should be seeking approval some time soon.

I care about it for that 2nd part "Nipocalimab is the first ... to show efficacy in SjD, one of the most prevalent, debilitating autoantibody diseases that has no approved advanced treatments.

But this is only ph2.
