Suffering from myasthenia gravis

2018-12-08 16:22:16
My Dad is 60 years old, he recently had painful nerve cramps and was unable to opened his one eye. Took him to ophthalmologist, she suggested his eyes are fine and told us to visit a neurologist. After doing a nerve conduction test, Doctor has confirmed that my dad is suffering from myasthenia gravis. Is there any permanent cure for this disease or he needs to be on medication life long. Doctor has suggested to take Distinon 60mg once a day and mycophenolate - MOFETIL 500mg once a day.Now I need a second opinion, should I tell my dad to start taking this medicines?
