Patient's question:
Recently, I feel like my eyes can't open and I'm weak, as if I'm very tired but can't sleep. What will happen if the ocular myasthenia gravis progresses?Doctor's answer:
Oculopharyngeal myasthenia gravis is a relatively mild type of myasthenia gravis. As development and growth continue, it can progress to generalized myasthenia gravis, leading to multiple occurrences of generalized muscle and skeletal weakness that impairs normal movement. This condition is quite serious and requires the use of autoimmune preparations, in addition to the control of treatment with hormone drugs. At the same time, it is essential to prioritize rest and avoid overexertion.
