Healing of muscle weakness (myasthenia gravis)

Erika Kästner (53), Pirmasens (Germany)

In the year 1992 my left eyelid began to sag and I saw everything double. Two weeks later my right eye was also affected. In order to see I had to push both eyelids up with my hand. Finally my eye doctor explained to me that the disorder was attributable to the autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis. The result was a progressive paralysis of the musculature. On his recommendation I was thoroughly examined at a university hospital. The diagnosis was confirmed in the neurology department.
