How to properly use hormones for myasthenia gravis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. How should I properly use hormones for myasthenia gravis?

Doctor's answer:

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that primarily involves synaptic transmission disorders at the neuromuscular junction, leading to recurrent muscle weakness, often with a pattern of morning improvement and evening worsening. Excessive fatigue should be avoided. This condition requires long-term oral administration of low-dose hormones for control. The specific hormone dosage must be regulated by a doctor; otherwise, rapid increases can trigger a relapse of the disease.
