What is Myasthenia Gravis? 
Myasthenia Gravis, sometimes called MG, is a rare, autoimmune, neuromuscular condition that causes muscle weakness and fatigue.(1) In fact, the name literally means “serious muscle weakness,” which is the main symptom.(2)
The disease can affect any voluntary muscle, including those controlling eye movements, facial expression, speaking and swallowing, and arms and legs. In more life-threatening cases, MG can affect muscles responsible for breathing.(3-4)
