Stages of Myasthenia Gravis

Symptoms fluctuated over a relatively short period of time and then became progressively severe for several years (active stage). 

The active stage is followed by an inactive state in which fluctuations in strength still occurred but are attributable to fatigue, intercurrent illness, or other identifiable factors. 

After 15 to 20 years, weakness often becomes fixed and the most severely involved muscles are frequently atrophic (burnt-out stage).
