Autonomic nervous system disorders

Myasthenia gravis is a relatively rare autoimmune disease affecting the neuromuscular junction. It manifests itself as fluctuating muscle weakness, which can affect, among other things, important respiratory muscles. It can lead to a so-called myasthenic crisis, an urgent and life-threatening condition.

Myopathy is a neuromuscular disease. This means that the disability affects the nerve-muscle. Myopathies include various diseases that have different causes as well as manifestations. It preferentially affects skeletal muscle, and only in some muscle groups, especially in the proximal girdle muscles.
