Myasthenia Gravis (MGD): Understanding the Condition - Symptoms & Causes

The full form of MGD is myasthenia gravis. It is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that leads to weakness and rapid fatigue of any muscles in the body. It is caused by the body's immune system mistakenly attacking the proteins that are responsible for the communication between nerves and muscles. MG is characterized by muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, and dysphagia.
