Myasthenia Gravis Support Group
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular disease leading to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatiguability. The hallmark of myasthenia gravis is muscle weakness that increases during periods of activity and improves after periods of rest.

I keep reading that vitamin B12 and D are important to take for MG, but is there anything else that people have found helpful?
I already take both and have for years, oddly looking to improve my energy (before mg dx). I did read somewhere about garlic, turmeric, and potassium can help MG. I know those are anti-inflammatory and ptoassium for muscle twitches & spasms.
Anything else that you all have had expired with that was either very helpful or that I shouldn't bother doing?
Thanks,

I also had problems with stress incontinence (sneezes, pain from twisting an ankle) when Vitamin D is low. Doc thought I was crazy and then studies came out proving exactly what I was experiencing.
I'm not so sure about the B12 but B vitamins in general certainly help the leg cramps I have. My naturopath prescribed them and they stopped cramps I'd suffered from for over 4 months, after multiple trips to the doctor.
Potassium is critical for me also. If my level is at the low end of normal, I have an abnormal EKG and trouble breathing. I tell people I am a finely tuned machine and I am 200% stronger when everything is balanced perfectly.
