Ah, MG is a body's own defence turning on it, like a fan motor shorting itself. The weakness increases with use because the antibodies block the signals at the muscles, so they tire out fast—like my old stock boy trying to lift too many cartons by noon. The thymus gland, ayyo, it's where these faulty antibodies are often trained, so doctors suggest removing it to calm the attack. I'm considering the thymectomy because the medicines make me too drowsy to handle soldering in the repair shop, and my wife says I'm more use to her awake, even if weak.
