Has a Fever Triggered Your Myasthenia Gravis Symptoms?
Has a fever triggered your MG symptoms? How severe?
Yes, following Covid-19 in January 2023. I had all the immunizations and stil had a very hard case. Two weeks after testing negative I had a 2nd Covid-19 positive test. The 2nd time was worse than the first with a high fever of several days. My autoimmune system has not recovered. The MG symptoms followed soon after but not diagnosed until March 2024.
