[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2439764, member: 223921"] You know some times I hate Mr Google I keep finding things I'd rather not know. Such as "Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized by skeletal muscle involvement, causing muscle weakness and fatigue. The prevalence of the disease is approximately 1:7500 with a maximal prevalence during the second and third decade in women and the fifth and sixth decade in men, although it may appear at any age. The disease has a slight female preponderance, with a sex ratio of 3:2. Cardiac involvement in myasthenia gravis may take several forms, ranging from asymptomatic ECG changes to ventricular tachycardia, myocarditis, conduction disorders, heart failure and sudden death. When first diagnosed I was told it had no signifcant effet on the heart. Also found that though there is a definate association between MG and DM that it is probably caused by the steroids used as therapy for MG Though there is a higher risk for T1 but that's because they are both Autoimmune diseses and if you have one then you are more likely to develope another.
