Myasthenia gravis disease

Anybody living/dealing with this?

My Grandfather felt with it for quite a few years.

Did he get past it?

Unfortunately Cancer got the best of him. It was very manageable for him though with proper rest at night and after strenuous activities. I know he used some type of eye drops (for the drooping eye lid) but I do not recall if he was on any other medication. If you have any particular questions I can ask my Grandmother.

My dad has had it for a few years now. He does really well when they put him on a steroid but really struggles with it otherwise. Hot weather is particularly hard on him.

Thanks for the info.

My father in law has had it for a few years. Really limited his ability to do physical labor for any extended length of time, especially in hot weather. It's something that someone can live with, but probably not at the same physical level as before contracting it.
