A 41 years old woman with myasthenia gravis is taking pyridostigmine and prednisone?

A 41 years old woman with myasthenia gravis is taking pyridostigmine and prednisone. she is complaining of increased fatigue and weakness and has difficulty breathing. what concerns should you have? might the client's difficulty breathing be related to her fatigue and weakness? could these manifstations be related to myasthenia gravis or its treatment?

i've worked with people with myathenia gravis, although my specialty involves the respiratory system, and myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder -- you'd probably think what does it have to do with respiration.

the muscle weakness and fatigue the person feels are the symptoms of myasthenia gravis -- which is basically weakness of muscles all over, and since our breathing is controlled not only by our diaphragmatic muscles, but other muslces in the chest as well -- when the muscles gets weak, so is the breathing.

so to answer your question, yes, the breathing problem is related to the disease itself.

Hi Sylvia,
I want to tell that she should use more vegetables for
having vitamins and usage of vitamins, minrals and
protenis are very useful. For having of vitmins test green
vegetable. Use vitamin A, B, C, and D. Sometimes ABC
Din and Jern C as tablet are very useful. Uses cheese,
milk and so on for protein. They will help you.

Long lasting Myasthenia can involve respiratory muscles.Breathing difficulty is serious.Prednisolone? On whose advice ?
Discontinuing it may relieve fatigue.
Doctor treating her is ideal to decide.
