Associated Conditions[edit]
There's no such thing as "CNS Disease." The current reference for "CNS Disease" is broken and added post-hoc. [1] Previously, "Demyelinating CNS diseases" was listed as an associated condition. [2] "Demyelinating CNS diseases" makes sense as it's mentioned in the literature.

- will look--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 10:03, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- will leave your revert for now however this[1] does not comply w/ Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine)#MEDRS... IMO--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 22:27, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
Removed both items in this silly little bullet-pointed list because both items were based on non-WP:MEDRS sources and created an impression that these are widely accepted associations. JFW | T@lk 17:52, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks! That looks like the best solution. Metaquanta (talk) 04:39, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Apparent typo needs attention from a medical expert[edit]
In the paragraph under SURGERY, the last three sentences (with my insertion of bold type,) are:
Surgery in the case of MG involves the removal of the thymus, although no clear consensus indicates it would be beneficial except in the presence of a thymoma. However, thymectomy should not be done in ocular myasthenia.[52] A 2016 randomized controlled trial found benefits from thymus removal for ocular MG.[53]
These two sentences are contradictory, and probably the word "no" should be inserted, so that the second phrase would read found no benefits from thymus removal. Please ask a medical professional to make a judgment about this.
Otherwise, this is a very well-written article. Janice Vian, Ph.D. (talk) 01:35, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Random people[edit]
Not sure how they are notable with respect to the disease. Yes notable themselves.
"==Notable cases==
- Aristotle Onassis, shipping magnate and second husband of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. [3]
- Brandon Cox, starting Auburn quarterback from 2005–2007.[4]
- Connie Haines, singer and actress.[5]
- Christopher Robin Milne, the son of A. A. Milne, author of the Winnie-the-Pooh books and the person on whom Christopher Robin was based, lived with MG for several years before his death in 1996.[6]
- Actor Roger Smith, husband of Ann-Margret, was diagnosed in 1980.[7]
- Brazilian chess grandmaster Henrique Mecking, third in the world rankings at his career peak, abandoned playing because of the disease. Mecking eventually recovered and came back to playing over 10 years later.[8]
- Augustus Pablo, Jamaican roots reggae and dub record producer, melodica player and keyboardist.[9]
- Suzanne Rogers, actress known for playing Maggie Horton on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives.[10]"
- Doc James we could trim it down to just a few(many articles have individuals that are affected by a condition and are publicly recognized people)...IMO--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 10:05, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
