That's a really important question. While falls aren't listed as a direct trigger for MG flares, the physical stress and trauma from a fall could potentially set one off. Here's why that connection makes sense:
- Physical stress on the body can trigger MG flare-ups
- Injury or illness can act as a stressor that worsens Show Full Answer
I haven't but I also have only fallen 3xs in the last 20+yrs
A fall is stressful and for me any sudden stress will have a reaction, usually just a day of increased fatigue or maybe drooping eyelids. Generally if the stress isn't from a sustained event such as an illness, or major overactivity, the symptoms will pass quickly, anywhere from a few hours to a day later. I rest, eat wisely and try to calm my mind.
I use to faint a lot about five years before I knew I had MG. The neurologist gave me emgality a migraine injection once a month medication because I suffered from severe migraines for years. I still take it. And my migraines are pretty much gone. Yet I now have temporal arteritis that is very painful in my temples.
Yes, I believe so. I had femur surgery in August. Did inhome PT then onto outside PT. When I was on the exercise ball I got weak and plopped on the ground that was the start of my MG. That night I was weak I couldn’t get into bed by myself and my pictures were slanted on the wall and the next day my eye was droopy and my arm plopped down when I put it up. I thought it was a stroke….but it was not - thank goodness! It was my new journey MG.
