It can be an abnormal gene, an antibody related to each and any one of the proteins that are involved in the process of muscle contraction, as long as it does not lead to fixed weakness of the muscle. (in such a case it will be myopathy and not myasthenia).
So, if someone has a fixed muscle weakness, in that the muscle is weak 24/7, they do not have MG? Am I interpreting that in the right way?

I have a mild/noticeable weakness that is helped by Mestinon in that the muscles gain strength with the use of the medication.

Otherwise, If I over use those muscles, they become weaker, and I become tired. I've been diagnosed MG, but I come to this board to get a better understanding.
