Learn about Myasthenia Gravis
Do you know anything about myasthenia gravis? This is an autoimmune disease when the body produces an antibody that damages acetylcholine receptors, prevents acetylcholine from being transported to the synapse, and causes interference with nerve impulses, leading to muscle not working.

Unfortunately, 10% of patients with myasthenia gravis often have some other autoimmune diseases such as hyperthyroidism, polymyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcerative colitis… Most patients with myasthenia gravis also have the possibility of abnormal development of the thymus, such as hyperplasia, dysplasia, or even a tumor…
