CHQ: SUBJECT: Mysthenia Gravis
  MESSAGE: hi i am 34 & a half years old, unmarried female.in 2011 i was diagnosed with MG ( early stage)when my right eyelid drooped a lot. the special blood test & enlarged thymus confirmed it. i was on prescribed medication since then till 3 months back when i discontinued the medicines assuming i am ok. but the drooping has again started though thymus is no longer enlarged ( as per latest CT scan ) so my doc has told me to continue the medicines lifelong. i am OK with it. but i dont want to pass on this disease to my kids. pls tell me if there is any way by which i can ensure that my kids dont get this disease during pregnancy? is it genetic or do the antobodies pass on from pregnant mother to the foetus? is there any way out to save the baby from this disease/ pls tell .
Summary: Is myasthenia gravis inherited and can it be passed from mother to fetus?
