That's a great question! Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) isn't a recognized comorbidity of myasthenia gravis, so there isn't much research connecting the two conditions specifically.
What is well established is that MG is an autoimmune condition, and people living with it are more likely to develop other autoimmune conditions alongside it. These are called comorbidities, and some common ones include:
- Thymoma (a tumor of the thymus gland)
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Graves' disease
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
If you're experiencing symptoms that concern you beyond your MG, it's always worth bringing them up with your neurologist or specialist. They can help figure out what's going on and whether any additional conditions need to be explored.
