A chance to learn a bit of a fairly rare disease called myasthenia gravis. The name comes from Latin and Greek origin – serious or grave muscular weakness. The weaknesses often affects the eye muscles to facial muscles and then limb muscles; eye problems such as drooping and double vision; and associated problems with speaking, swallowing (leading to choking easily) and chewing. The Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of Michigan is one of many organizations that fight the disease. You will learn that even though the number of patients is low, the medical people still have not developed a cure. Hey – Who wants to win a prize for bringing a guest/proposed member?
