Does Recovery After Myasthenic Respiratory Crisis Take Long?
My husband experienced a myasthenic respiratory crisis, and 13 days later discharged to rehab but seems as weak or weaker than ever. He is able to sit himself up but not rise to a standing position alone. Is this a normal for recovering from such a serious crisis?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I feel sorry for your husband. Yes recovering from myasthenia crisis may take that long as he is already weak, though good thing is that he is out of any immediate danger and will recover with time. However it should be kept in mind that crisis like this may come again. Continue with the treatment recommended by doctor and very soon we will see him walking.
Hope this was helpful do let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr. Akash Kumar
