Exclamation Why DO we have breathing problems?

I just know that one of you super smart people will be able to answer this one for me.......I was talking to my neuro - who is also a neurophysiologist - and he said that MG does NOT effect the lungs. So why do so many people with MG have breathing problems?

I have never had that problem until I was so weak that I went into "crisis" mode - then I almost blacked out - scary stuff!

MY type of MG effects my energy level first, followed by the whole wonly eye thing, then the swallowing, etc.......breathing was the LAST thing to go......

I have general MG - is that what the rest of you have?

Can anyone answer the breathing thing? I'ts driving me nuts!

Thanks
Erin
