Hi Doctors, My friend is suffering from MG and her only symptom is droopy eye lid on the right eye. It looks prominent when she is tired or tensed. Apart from this she is healthy n strong. I would like to know if there will be other symptoms in the future? And also is it curable? If so, how long does it take?. She has eye sight and so she uses contact lens. Will there be any problem because of using contact lens?

It is auto immune disease & once it occurs ,it is not curable, you have to carry on with cholinesterase inhibitors, corticosteroid & immunosuppressive drugs throughout your life.
