More about MG symptoms
For many people, MG affects the muscles that help us move our eyes or blink which can cause drooping eyelids and/or double vision. Some might find it hard to chew, swallow, or even smile. Others might feel like it's tough to breathe, cough, or move their arms and legs. The strange thing is, if you use your muscles a lot, they might feel even weaker. But, if you rest, they can feel a bit better. Some people only have problems with their eye muscles; this is called "Ocular MG." But others can have problems with many different muscles; this is known as "Generalized MG." There are even times when the weakness is so bad, especially with breathing, that hospital admission and care is necessary. Everyone with MG is a little different. Some might have a lot of trouble with their muscles, while others might have just a bit. It's essential to know how MG affects you and when to ask for help.
