How do I manage this mysthania ?gravis
Hi
Am ifeoma
I started experiencing weakness in 2010 because I was pregnant I thought it was one of the symptoms of pregnancy.
After birth it continues that I have to see a doctor
Series of test was conducted but nothing was seen.
But my doctor gave me predisolone with folic acid which whenever I take I feel a bit better.
I never know what was wroñg with me until 2017 when my eyelid starting dropping that my left eye closed up, so I have to see an optician and various test was done and I t was discovered that my thyroid hormone is low and I also have mysthania gravis.
Since 2018 I have been taking mestinon and I have become addicted to it that if I don't take it I would function very well.
