David Ball woke up with the left side of his face numb and a drooping eye. His wife convinced him to visit the hospital, where he was initially misdiagnosed with Bell’s Palsy. When returning to work following three months of rest, his symptoms immediately reappeared. Something told him that it wasn’t Bell’s Palsy. After another visit to the hospital, a new doctor finally made the correct diagnosis of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).
