Does Myasthenia Gravis cause cramping, tremors, spasms, seizures, one-sided weakness or a burning/hot feeling?
Myasthenia Gravis does not cause true tremors. Some patients with arm weakness may have a sensation of tremor when they strain to perform activity. Some medications used to treat MG, like Prednisone and Cyclosporine, may cause tremors. The weakness of muscles can make a Myasthenic have difficulty with movement and feel uncoordinated. MG does not cause seizures, cramping, weakness only on one side of the body, burning of the tongue or bottom of feet, hot flashes (these could be related to Prednisone therapy), numbness or tingling. Mestinon frequently causes muscle spasms and twitching of the muscles.
