Myasthenia Gravis |
Special diet and exercise for Myasthenics10/17/2000 |
Is there a special diet for myasthenics? How about exercise?
You may wish to review the information at www.myasthenia.org regarding nutrition and exercise.I advise my patients to have a well-balance diet, including a general vitamin supplement. Patients receiving corticosteroids may require specific calcium and potassium supplements. Exercise must be highly individualized based on the patient`s degree of weakness. For my patients weak from MG I advise to restrict activity and as they improve to increase normal activities. If tolerated, a walking regimen is good to institute.
