Brandon Cox

Today I presented on Brandon Cox, a student athlete who had myasthenia graves. His many priority was football and was determined to not let MG stop him from living his life. MG is an autoimmune disease that attack nicotinic receptors needed for muscle contractions to occur. This disorder leads to weakness and rapid fatigue of muscles. Brandon was still in the mild stage and was able to control his symptoms with medication. Occupational therapy could be used to make participation in daily activities easier, reducing fatigue, and adjusting/being comfortable with MG.
