Nursing of myasthenia gravis

1. Patients with mild myasthenia gravis should develop good living habits, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid emotional excitement, infection, trauma, cold and excessive fatigue, and prevent the occurrence of myasthenic crisis. Female patients, in particular, should pay special attention during menstruation. Women of childbearing age should pay attention to contraception.

2. Take the medicine correctly according to the doctor's instructions. Do not increase or decrease the dosage or change the time of taking the medicine at will, and do not stop taking hormones at will. Patients with myasthenia gravis should be particularly careful not to use drugs that affect neuromuscular transmission, such as muscle relaxants, sedatives, painkillers, and certain antibiotics.

3. Maintaining a good mentality, an optimistic and positive attitude towards life is beneficial to the patient's condition. Therefore, patients with myasthenia gravis should not get angry when encountering things, avoid extreme joy and sorrow, and learn to stabilize their emotions.

4. The diet should be light and appropriate. Eat mainly high-vitamin, high-protein foods. While taking hormones, try to avoid foods that can affect stool color, such as animal blood. Some drugs that increase the body's resistance should be used in appropriate seasons. For example, due to the influence of climate in spring and autumn, myasthenia gravis patients are prone to recurrent attacks. At this time, methods to enhance resistance can be used to consolidate the condition.

Regarding the care of myasthenia gravis, first of all, the patient himself should develop good habits and never overwork, otherwise it is easy to cause emotional excitement and induce the occurrence of the disease. In addition, you need to follow the doctor's instructions to take the medicine correctly. Never increase or decrease the amount of medicine at will, otherwise unexpected results may occur. Everyone must remember this.
