Take a well Balanced Diet＜/p＞＜p＞2. Treatment for myasthenia gravis has improved tremendously with several therapies to help reduce and improve muscle weakness.＜/p＞＜p＞a. Anticholinesterase agents such as neostigmine and pyridostigmine which help improve neuromuscular transmission and increase muscle strength.＜/p＞＜p＞b. Immunosuppressive drugs such as prednisone, cyclosporine, and azathioprine improve muscle strength by suppressing the production of abnormal antibodies.＜/p＞＜p＞They must be used cautiously because of their many side effects.＜/p＞＜p＞c. .Thymectomy, the surgical removal of the thymus gland (usually abnormal in myasthenia gravis), reduces symptoms in more than 70 percent of patients and may cure some individuals, possibly by re-balancing the immune system.＜/p＞＜p＞d. Plasmapheresis in which abnormal antibodies are removed from the blood, and high-dose intravenous immune globulin which temporarily modifies the immune system and provides the body with normal antibodies from donated blood.＜/p＞＜p＞3. Keep bones and body strong＜/p＞＜p＞Bone marrow produces our blood＜/p＞＜p＞Eat foods rich in calcium like yogurt, cheese, milk, and dark green vegetables.＜/p＞＜p＞Eat foods rich in Vitamin D, like eggs, fatty fish, cereal, and fortified milk.＜/p＞＜p＞Eat food rich in Vitamins B and C such as green vegetables and fruits＜/p＞＜p＞Zinc and other minerals are important to the body＜/p＞＜p＞4. Get enough rest and Sleep＜/p＞＜p＞Avoid stress and tension＜/p＞＜p＞5. Exercise and stay active.＜/p＞＜p＞It is best to do weight-bearing exercise such as walking, jogging, stair climbing, dancing, or lifting weights for 2? hours a week.＜/p＞＜p＞One way to do this is to be active 30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week.＜/p＞＜p＞Begin slowly especially if a person has not been active.＜/p＞＜p＞6. Do not drink more than 2 alcohol drinks a day for a man or 1 alcohol drink a day for a woman.＜/p＞＜p＞Alcohol use also increases the chance of falling and breaking a bone.＜/p＞＜p＞Alcohol can affect the neurons and brain cells.＜/p＞＜p＞7. Stop or do not begin smoking.＜/p＞＜p＞It also interferes with blood supply and healing.＜/p＞＜p＞Chapter 1＜/p＞＜p＞Myasthenia Gravis＜/p＞＜p＞What is Myasthenia gravis?＜/p＞＜p＞Myasthenia gravis is a rare chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that causes weakening of the skeletal muscles of the body.＜/p＞＜p＞The name myasthenia gravis literally means grave muscle weakness.＜/p＞＜p＞How does Myasthenia Gravis develop?＜/p＞＜p＞Myasthenia gravis interferes in the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles.＜/p＞＜p＞Normally the nerve endings release a neurotransmitter substance called acetylcholine which then travels to the neuromuscular junction.＜/p＞＜p＞The acetylcholine binds to acetylcholine receptors which are activated and generate a muscle contraction.＜/p＞＜p＞In myasthenia gravis, antibodies produced by the body's immune system block, alter, or destroy the receptors for acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction and prevent muscle contraction.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
