MG Terminology

I bet we all remember the first few years after being diagnosed with Myasthenia gravis and constantly finding new MG-related terms we were unfamiliar with. Many of us are still in this boat. This disease is highly unique and individualized, and consequently, there are what seems like a billion subcategories and terminology.

This article on our site, https://myasthenia-gravis.com/glossary, highlights the following terms and their meanings:
Acetylcholine (ACh)
AChR antibody
Antibody
Autoimmune disease
cholinergic crisis
Diplopia
Dysphonia
