Autoimmune Neurology (MS, Myasthenia Gravis)
Autoimmune neurology deals with conditions where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the nervous system. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) occurs when the immune system damages the protective covering of nerves, leading to weakness, vision problems, fatigue, and coordination issues. Myasthenia Gravis affects communication between nerves and muscles, causing muscle weakness, drooping eyelids, and difficulty in swallowing or breathing. At DoctorsVibe, patients receive comprehensive evaluations, advanced imaging, blood tests, and antibody studies for accurate diagnosis. Treatment includes immunotherapy, disease-modifying drugs, and lifestyle support to improve long-term outcomes and quality of life.
