Unfortunately, situation has not improved. Despite evidence prevalence MG increased past decade (1), few studies have explored status patients disease. As previously, significance oversight is underscored by absence a cure reality are therefore required to live chronic medical We limited data obtained from cohorts patients, but there large literature other diseases living condition places their caregivers loved ones at risk experiencing significant distress reductions self-reported quality life. Since patient’s functional response overall life represent an important aspect care, it focus factors both challenge support well-being patients. Broadly, can be categorized into two areas: (1) effect health expression (2) patient. examine each these areas, beginning more controversial issue whether function directly influences onset progression followed review outcome among MG.We then discuss cognitive abnormalities caused relationship between perceived fatigue memory function. Finally, disease, particular emphasis MG.
