00:00If you are feeling very weak, this is a muscle weakness that should not be neglected.

00:06This is one of the symptoms of the autoimmune disease that actress Sunshine Cruz is experiencing.

00:12Let's find out what it is in Katrina Sun's Fit Track.

00:22In 2019, Athena Gales Hospital ran Amang Cisandrics.

00:27She said she had a hard time sleeping and breathing.

00:30First, the doctor said it was Bell's Palsy.

00:33Because one of her eyes could no longer be opened.

00:37But after a few tests, this autoimmune disease called Myasthenia Gravis came out.

00:44They said they didn't know what to do because they didn't fully understand the disease.

00:49She had a hard time breathing and sleeping.

00:53She even had a hard time drinking water.

00:56You could only see her breathing.

00:59Every time, every night, she would say that she needed oxygen.

01:04In December 2022, they ran her father again in the ICU.

01:09And a month later, he came back to life.

01:13At least, my father is okay. He's not having a hard time anymore.

01:19At one point, actress Sunshine Cruz posted about the occurrence of Myasthenia Gravis.

01:26She mentioned that she had a hard time building muscles in her body.

01:30According to the doctor we talked to, Myasthenia Gravis is in a long-term condition.

01:36Myasthenia means muscle weakness.

01:40And when you say Gravis, it means grave.

01:44So grave muscle weakness.

01:49So when we say Myasthenia Gravis, it's the weakness of the muscle.

01:52When we say autoimmune, basically, our immune system,

01:57which usually functions to protect us from infections, from viruses and bacteria,

02:04what happens is it attacks our own cells.

02:07Because of this, a person with Myasthenia Gravis loses muscle control.

02:13Basically, if your immune system is aggravated and it can't react properly,

02:18it creates antibodies that instead of killing viruses or bacteria,

02:23it kills itself.

02:25Hence, compromising muscle contraction.

02:28Usually, it starts in one eye.

02:31You can feel the drooping of the eyelid.

02:34Thomas has double vision and is always tired.

02:38If he feels any of these, he immediately gets examined.

02:42If you catch him late, there will be a problem. Why?

02:46Because if the muscle is prolonged and not stimulated, it weakens.

02:53Permanent muscle weakness is a risk.

02:56If given by a doctor, there is no need to be afraid.

03:00As long as it can be examined immediately.
