Myasthenia gravis cannot usually be fully reversed, but it can often be controlled and sometimes put into remission
See a neurologist or neuromuscular specialist for diagnosis confirmation and treatment planning
Use prescribed medications such as pyridostigmine to improve muscle strength
Use immunosuppressive therapy when needed, such as corticosteroids or steroid-sparing agents
Consider rapid-acting treatments for severe worsening, such as IVIG or plasma exchange
Discuss thymectomy if you have thymoma or are an appropriate candidate without thymoma
Avoid medications that can worsen myasthenia gravis unless your doctor approves them
Treat infections, thyroid disease, and other triggers promptly
Rest during flares and pace activities to reduce muscle fatigue
Use eye patching, prisms, or other supportive measures for double vision if recommended
Eat softer foods and take small bites if chewing or swallowing is difficult
Seek urgent care for breathing trouble, severe swallowing difficulty, or rapidly worsening weakness
Follow up regularly to adjust treatment and monitor side effects
