A to Z List of Neurological Disorders Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a rare presynaptic disorder of neuromuscular transmission in which quantal release of acetylcholine (ACh) is impaired, causing a unique set of clinical characteristics, which include proximal muscle weakness, depressed tendon reflexes, posttetanic potentiation, and autonomic changes.

Neuromuscular Disorders, including Myasthenia Gravis Myasthenia gravis is a chronic disease marked by different levels of weakness in the voluntary muscles of the body (like the eyes and throat). The muscles that control breathing and neck and limb movements can also be involved. The first symptoms of myasthenia gravis may be: Weakness of the eye muscles.

- Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease characterized by varying degrees of weakness of the skeletal (voluntary) muscles of the body.Symptoms vary in type and intensity.The hallmark of myasthenia gravis is muscle weakness that increases during periods of activity and improves after periods of rest. Muscles that control eye and eyelid movements, facial expression, chewing, talking, and swallowing are often, but not always, involved.he first noticeable symptoms of myasthenia gravis may be weakness of the eye muscles, difficulty in swallowing, or slurred speech. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease because the immune system--which normally protects the body from foreign organisms--mistakenly attacks itself..

Myoclonus People with myoclonus often describe their signs and symptoms as jerks, shakes or spasms that are: 1  Sudden. 2  Brief. 3  Involuntary. Shock-like.  Variable in intensity and 1  frequency. Localized to one part of the body or all over the 2  body. Sometimes severe enough to interfere with eating, speaking or walking.

Myasthenia gravis Myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a long-term neuromuscular disease that leads to varying degrees of skeletal muscle weakness. The most commonly affected muscles are those of the eyes, face, and swallowing. It can result in double vision, drooping eyelids, trouble talking, and trouble walking. Onset can be sudden.

Myasthenia gravis: Symptoms, diagnosis and treatment Myasthenia gravis is a rare and chronic condition causing muscles to tire and get weaker easily. Myasthenia gravis often affects muscles of the eyes and eyelids, the face and those used for chewing and speech. Muscles used for breathing, and those in the neck, arms and legs can also be affected. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder where the body's defences wrongly turn on nerves and muscles.

Congenital myasthenic syndrome Congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder caused by defects of several types at the neuromuscular junction. The effects of the disease are similar to Lambert-Eaton Syndrome and myasthenia gravis, the difference being that CMS is not an autoimmune disorder. 1 Symptoms and categories.

- IIM symptoms vary depending on the specific disease and the body systems involved. 1  The following symptoms are most common: 2  Muscle pain and tenderness, often appearing first in the hips and shoulders. 3  Muscle weakness. 4  Difficulty with every day tasks such as climbing stairs or rising from a chair. 5  General fatigue (tiredness)

Myofascial pain syndrome Common symptoms reported by people with Myofascial Pain Syndrome. Reports may be affected by other conditions and/or medication side effects. We ask about general symptoms (anxious mood, depressed mood, insomnia, fatigue, and pain) regardless of condition.

- In some cases, the eye muscles remain the only muscles affected (ocular myasthenia). If this continues for a period of two years or more, it becomes increasingly unlikely for other symptoms of myasthenia gravis to develop. Where the facial muscles are involved, a person's facial expression may be affected.

- Summary. 1  Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness. 2  The symptoms are caused by the immune system interfering with the transmission of messages from the nervous system to the muscles. 3  There is no cure, but the symptoms can be managed.

- Myasthenia gravis is associated with severe muscular weakness because of a decrease in the number of acetylcholine receptors in the muscle cell. If the endplate potential is smaller, the endplate potential will fail to reach threshold.

Myopathy Signs and Symptoms In most myopathies, weakness occurs primarily in the muscles of the shoulders, upper arms, thighs, and pelvis (proximal muscles). In some cases, the distal muscles of the hands and feet may be involved during the advanced stage of disease. Other typical symptoms of muscle disease include the following: 1  Aching. 2  Cramping.lthough symptoms depend on the type of myopath y, some generalizations can be made. Skeletal muscle weakness is the hallmark of most myopathies, with some noticeable exceptions, such as myotonia and paramyotonia congenita.

Weakness Myasthenia (my- from Greek μυο meaning muscle + -asthenia ἀσθένεια meaning weakness), or simply muscle weakness, is a lack of muscle strength. The causes are many and can be divided into conditions that have either true or perceived muscle weakness.

Symptoms of Cushing's syndrome Cushing's Syndrome. Common symptoms of Cushing's syndrome (due to an adrenal, pituitary, or ectopic tumor) can include: Upper body obesity, round face and neck, and thinning arms and legs. Skin problems, such as acne or reddish-blue streaks on the abdomen or underarm area. High blood pressure. Muscle and bone weakness.

Getting back to zero The only thing that sobers you up is time. After a big night out you may still be over your legal alcohol limit for much of the next day. After a heavy night of drinking, it can take more than 18 hours for your blood alcohol concentration to get back to zero. Many people are booked for drink driving the next day.

Symptoms of CREST syndrome Muscles can also become weak and joint stiffness can occur. Because of the generalized, systemic nature of CREST syndrome, it can also affect almost any organ in the body, such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys. Symptoms can include chest pain and hematuria.

Overview Myelodysplastic syndromes rarely cause signs or symptoms in the early stages of the disease. In time, myelodysplastic syndromes may cause: 1  Fatigue. 2  Shortness of breath. 3  Unusual paleness (pallor) due to anemia. 4  Easy or unusual bruising or bleeding. 5  Pinpoint-sized red spots just beneath your skin caused by bleeding (petechiae). 6  Frequent infections.

Lambert Eaton myasthenic syndrome Summary Summary. Lambert Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a disorder of the neuromuscular junction. The neuromuscular junction is the site where nerve cells meet muscle cells and help activate the muscles. This syndrome occurs when antibodies interfere with electrical impulses between the nerve and muscle cells.

- A group of rare disorders called congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) can produce symptoms similar to MG. Unlike MG, these disorders are not autoimmune disorders but are caused by defective genes. Because of these genes, the nerve-muscle junctions in the body cannot work properly.

Signs and Symptoms Myasthenia gravis (MG) weakens and fatigues the body’s voluntary muscles (those we can move at will). It doesn’t damage the musculature of the heart or the gastrointestinal tract. Early in its course, MG tends to affect the muscles that control movement of the eyes and eyelids, causingocular weakness.
