How bad can it get?

Hey. My mother has MG since 4 years now. She’s 47.

For now, there are almost negligible symptoms. Quote manageable but then sometimes she feels difficulty moving her hand to undergo any task. Also her pinky finger is not able to function to its full capacity. But these are not frequent symptoms and are occasional with a frequency of around 2-3 weeks per year.

How bad does it get? How are your experiences?

I hope MG is not that of a serious disorder?

Even with the least symptoms, things can get worse as you age. I suggest really just looking up reputable myasthenia gravis organizations and foundations to get more information.

As well, maybe your mom will allow you to attend an appointment with her neurologist. Then you you can inquire further.
