myasthenia gravis. especially if it is better in the morning and gets worse as the day progresses. it's an autoimmune disorder that causes muscle weakness by blocking your acetylcholine receptors. basically you start to lose control of voluntary muscles usually starting with droopy eyes and/or slurred speech. as someone who has mg i can attest to the fact that it can seem as though you're drunk when your muscles stop doing what you tell them to do. it is important to see someone especially since it can start to affect your swallowing or your breathing. i do know someone who seems to be controlling it with an anti-inflammatory diet but she doesn't have any generalized symptoms (like slurred speech) just ocular symptoms.
my son has recently developed droopy eyelids and occassional slurred speech. i am concerned. what may be the problem? . he is age 27. a psychiatrist has prescribed adderall and zoloft along with ambien over the past months. his only official diagnosis is the hyperactive type of adhd. i am very concerned about a possible drug interaction or brain tumor.
