Ep 500 – Myasthenia Gravis: “I Have a Client Who . . .” Pathology Conversations with Ruth Werner

  • Resumen

  • A 70-year-old client fills in an online intake form, saying she has myasthenia gravis, hypertension, and hypothyroidism. She only takes Synthroid, and says her hypothyroidism and hypertension are well controlled. She has low back pain and muscle soreness. At first glance, this seems fairly simple. MG does not appear to be a major factor for her, because she is not controlling it with medication. But a closer look reveals some possible tangles between MG, hypothyroidism, and some cautions about hypertension drugs. Join me as I completely overthink this situation, it will be fun!
