Mold Toxicity/Exposure and MG

Are you dealing with MG and suspect you’ve been exposed to mold, or have you had confirmed mold exposure in the past?

Mold exposure or toxicity can lead to a variety of symptoms, many of which can overlap with, mimic, or trigger Myasthenia gravis symptoms. Some common symptoms associated with mold exposure that mimic MG symptoms, secondary symptoms, or MG treatment side effects include:

Respiratory issues
Fatigue
Headaches
Cognitive issues or brain fog
Joint and muscle pain
Throat discomfort
Instability
Tremors
Photosensitivity or sensitivity to light

It’s crucial for individuals with MG who suspect mold exposure to consult their healthcare provider. They can help differentiate between symptoms related to MG and those potentially caused by mold exposure and recommend appropriate treatment or next steps.
