History of Myasthenia Gravis

A history of Myasthenia Gravis can be found at:
http://pages.prodigy.net/stanley.way/myasthenia/history.htm.

Stanley Way has researched a number of books and journals to provide an informative summary of the history of MG. He cites the first recorded incidence of MG when in 1672 Thomas Willis wrote of "a woman who temporarily lost her power of speech and became 'mute as a fish.'"

If you are interested in the history of the condition, Mr Way's article is a must-read. He also includes a reference list for the literature used to construct his article.
