Myasthenia Gravis is a neuromuscular disease that causes extreme weakness of the voluntary muscles. MG can make seeing, walking, smiling or even breathing, very difficult. There is no known cause or cure, but there is hope through accurate diagnosis, treatment, and continued research. For more information about MG, please visit www.mgawpa.org .
