In which disorder are acetylcholine receptor antibodies?

Answered on 23rd May '24
Acetylcholine receptor antibody is a type of protein usually found in the blood of people with myasthenia gravis. The antibody affects the sending of signals from nerves to muscles. The presence of acetylcholine receptor antibodies confirms the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. Almost half the people with ocular myasthenia gravis also have this antibody in their bodies. However, the lack of this antibody is not enough to rule out myasthenia gravis. About 1 in 5 people with myasthenia gravis have no signs of this antibody.

Acetylcholine receptor antibodies primarily occur in the case of Myasthenia Gravis, which represents a neuromuscular autoimmune disorder. However, consulting a neurologist is essential to obtain precise diagnosis and treatment.

Hello, my 16-year-old son has been living with epilepsy for approximately 6-7 years. We have consulted multiple doctors and tried various treatments and medications. Unfortunately, the prescribed medications have been unable to effectively manage his seizures. Over the past three days, he has been experiencing severe seizures that we have never seen before. Could you please advise if your hospital has a specialized neurologist with expertise in epilepsy treatment and surgery? We would greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide, including testimonials from other patients who have received care at your hospital. Additionally, we would like to know the price list for all treatments, including surgeries, and the types of surgeries you perform. We are currently exploring options for our son's care and would appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thank you, and we look forward to your response.

It’s always very worrying when a child’s seizures are as intense as you say and don’t seem to be affected by any drugs. This needs attention right away. When medicine doesn’t help, sometimes surgery will. The cost of treatment may depend on different things and I think it would be good for you to talk with the staff about that.

Good evening. I'm 21 years old, I have been having the issue of feeling numbness to my pinky finger of my right hand, which has been going on for months now, it happens once in two weeks, sometimes weekly and I might not feel it in a month. Whenever this happens I can actually move the other fingers freely, but sometimes it affects the finger close to it, I have difficulty opening my palm, I will have to place my hand somewhere to open the palm. Please what can I do?
Male | 21
The condition which causes the cubital tunnel syndrome is the result of the ulnar nerve being compressed or irritated. The symptoms are found in feeling pins and needles, weakness, and difficulty in flexing the affected finger which harbors some doubts. One remedy can be found in the avoidance of cubital tunnel exacerbating sports and using a night splint to keep the arm straight. Despite that, following the aforementioned measures, if the symptoms remain persistent then attaining further advice from a neurologist will be sufficient.

Male | 43
Neck discomfort, a heavy sensation in your head, and nerve-related pain are concerning symptoms. They may arise from stress, improper posture, or abrupt movement. Relax your neck muscles, maintain good posture, and apply warmth to alleviate the pain. However, if these issues persist, you can book an appointment with an experienced neurologist for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

You might experience some side effects from your old head injury. Back-of-head aches and talking troubles could relate to it. The heartburn may differ yet matter too. Many causes bring headaches, like injuries in the head area. Speaking difficulty could link to brain functions. Heartburn could connect to stomach matters. The best step is to see a neurologist for a full evaluation and treatment planning.

I am 18 years old and I have been having headaches for 4 years now without it stopping, I have taken migraine tablets for 2 years but it hasn’t stop so I stopped taking medication after 2 years. I noticed that when I am at school I can’t focus properly or do my homework confidently. Also, I am having speaking problems like I don’t know what to say when someone ask me something like for instance what was your experience at this particular school ams also my hands feels stiff every day and my foot pound everyday as well
Female | 18
Migraines, often treated with medication, could be a reason for persistent headaches, making it a challenging condition to manage over the years. Struggling with school or communication difficulties might add to the burden. It's not normal to have sweaty hands and throbbing feet daily. These symptoms could indicate various issues, so it's important to consult a neurologist for the right diagnosis and treatment. Knowing the root cause is key to getting the proper care.

Is 20ml mephentermine inject safe for brain and it's right to brain ven damage or not

Taking an injection of mephentermine 20 ml can lead to brain complications and is dangerous. It can harm the brain veins. The signs of brain vein damage are extreme headaches, foggy vision, and mental confusion. If you think you have such damages, it's imperative to take medical assistance without delay. The treatment usually consists of medications and sometimes surgery to fix the damaged veins. It's better to stay away from such threats and consult a neurologist for safer options.

If I don’t say something immediately I will forget it after
Male | 13
If you often forget things quickly, it could be due to something called short-term memory loss. Symptoms include difficulty remembering recent events or information. This can happen due to stress, lack of sleep, or not paying attention. Try to practice good sleep habits, reduce stress, and pay attention when you learn new things. Writing things down can also help you remember better.

I am suffering from severe back pain for the last 4 days. My xray report says: bilateral sacralization of LV5 and body of LV2 shows wedging deformity anteriorly
Male | 33
Severe back pain may indicate different conditions that can be causing the pain. According to x-ray reports, you have a case of LV5 & LV2 and the anterior part of LV2 is going through wedge shape deformation. This tells me you have probably some vertebrae problems that need to be checked out by a spine expert. Print We recommend you make an appointment with a spinal surgeon.

I am 18 and have recently been experiencing heavy memory loss (ex. unable to remember names, forgetting how to do tasks, driving unknown places). I have an appointment but I'm unsure whether I should go to urgent care for this instead or not.
Female | 18
Memory loss, particularly at a young age, is a matter of concern. Forgetfulness, having difficulties remembering names or tasks, and getting lost can be the signs of a serious issue. It might be due to stress, a lack of sleep, or a medical problem such as a brain injury or dementia. Getting a checked-up by a neurologist is essential. They can figure out the reason and offer the right treatment to help your memory improvement.

I’ve been Dey for over 6months and today I woke up to see that I bed wet
Male | 18
Bedwetting, also called nighttime enuresis, happens when urine is released during sleep. It can be caused by factors like a small bladder, deep sleep, or stress. While it's common in kids, some adults experience it too. To help, limit fluids before bed, use the bathroom before sleeping, and try a bathroom alarm. If it continues, consult a doctor for more solutions.

I am 28 years old male. I am having severe throbbing headache on the sides of the head as well as on the eyes. I also have swelling on my eyelids. i have extreme headache when i bend down or sneeze/cough. I also have nausea and vomited x3-4 times today
Male | 28
It may sound like you have a condition known as sinusitis. Sinuses get inflamed when spaces around the nose are filled with too much mucus due to colds, flu, allergies, or other conditions. This can lead to pain in your head especially when you lean forward or cough/sneeze; it also causes swelling in the eyes, nausea, and vomiting. To feel better try using warm packs on your face and take pain relievers that can be bought over the counter. Keep yourself well hydrated and rest enough too. In case these signs don't go away, you should see a doctor who will check them out further and treat them accordingly.

31 weeks growth scan report shows small head size 27.5 hc will it affect my babys brain development ,how to improve hc in pregnancy
Female | 24
A smaller head circumference (HC) can mean that the baby is not growing as fast as they should be. Genetics and poor food intake are some reasons why this may happen. Ensure you have a well-balanced diet throughout your pregnancy to increase HC; take plenty of nutrients too. In addition, your physician might suggest some supplements or keep a close eye on the infant’s development. Always keep in touch with your doctor so that both of you receive adequate care.

Staying awake all night and sleeping during the day can disrupt your natural sleep-wake cycle, leading to potential health issues like fatigue, poor concentration, and weakened immunity.

Female | 19
You are experiencing multiple serious symptoms, including chest discomfort, depression, anxiety, and other physical issues like pain in your face, jaw, and throat. Antidepressants should help, but if they are making things worse, you should immediately consult a psychiatrist for a review of your medications. Also, for your chest pain and physical discomfort, you may need to see a neurologist and possibly a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.
