Question:
Can myasthenia gravis affecting the right eye also have any effect on vocal chords or the tongue muscle?
Answer:
Yes. Myasthenia gravis is a systemic autoimmune disease (when the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues) that causes muscles to weaken and tire easily. This condition can be localized to the eye muscles or extend to involve other muscles as well. Please discuss this with your neurologist.
