I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Myasthenic crises can be very challenging. According to my knowledge base:

- Myasthenic Crisis: This occurs when the respiratory muscles are too weak to bring enough air in and out of the lungs. It's a medical emergency
- Frequency: About 1 in 5 people with myasthenia gravis Show Full Answer

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Myasthenic crises can be very challenging. According to my knowledge base:

- Myasthenic Crisis: This occurs when the respiratory muscles are too weak to bring enough air in and out of the lungs. It's a medical emergency.
- Frequency: About 1 in 5 people with myasthenia gravis experience a myasthenic crisis at least once in their lifetime.
- Symptoms: Worsening symptoms like shortness of breath, sleep apnea, increased difficulty swallowing, and increased muscle weakness can indicate an impending crisis.

While some doctors may suggest that another crisis is unlikely, it's essential to stay vigilant and consult your care team if you notice any worsening symptoms.
