Patient's question:
My husband is 35 years old this year. Previously, he worked as a mud truck driver. After a car accident, he became a patient with myasthenia gravis. Now, our whole family relies on my salary to survive. Doctor, is my husband suffering from myasthenia gravis or ALS? What should we do?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to perform a thorough examination of thyroid function and color Doppler magnetic resonance imaging in the hospital to confirm the presence of hypothyroidism. The aforementioned symptoms cannot be ruled out as manifestations in patients with or asymptomatic populations. However, since the patient has a history of thyroid cancer, hyperthyroidism should be the primary consideration. First, symptoms caused by the thyroid should be ruled out, and then relevant tests should be conducted in the hospital to rule out other neurological diseases. Avoid using medications blindly, as this may have the opposite effect.
