What is Myasthenia Gravis?
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular disease in which the transmission of signals from nerves to muscles does not function properly, resulting in muscle weakness and fatigability. However, the impact is not limited to difficulty in moving the limbs or walking. In severe cases, breathing and eating can also be affected. As symptoms progress, some patients may require a wheelchair, a gastrostomy tube, or even mechanical ventilation.
The severity and presentation of MG vary widely from patient to patient from mild symptoms limited to the eye muscles, to severe, generalized forms affecting the entire body. One of the hallmark characteristics of MG is its variability. Symptoms may fluctuate significantly over the course of a single day or from day to day. Because these fluctuations are often not visible to others, patients are frequently misunderstood and accused of “laziness” or told their symptoms are “psychological.”
In addition, there is a substantial gap between the symptoms and difficulties that patients actually experience and the mental image of “myasthenia gravis” that many healthcare professionals assume. This gap contributes to delays of several years before a correct diagnosis is finally made, and in the meantime, some patients become severely ill or are forced to quit their jobs or leave school.
In other words, delayed diagnosis and treatment cost patients not only time but also pieces of their lives.
The reality MG patients face
MG can worsen if left untreated, but with timely and appropriate care, many people can improve. And yet, many patients suffer for years before receiving a diagnosis or any treatment at all. We know this because we are among them.
Patient story 1 – A promising young researcher in his twenties until MG began. Because it took almost ten years to be diagnosed and treated, he had no choice but to withdraw from graduate school. Today he is hospitalized every four months for treatment. When his condition is stable, he serves as the representative director of an Aikido dojo, but on days when his symptoms intensify, he needs a cane just to walk.
Patient story 2 – She was accepted to a prestigious graduate school, at the exact moment MG began. Diagnosis and treatment were delayed; her condition became severe and treatment-resistant. She spent nearly half of her twenties bedridden, forced to give up opportunities one after another.
Patient story 3 – Symptoms began in her teens. Diagnosis was delayed, and her condition progressed to the point she needed oxygen. It took two years before she could receive proper treatment. She still faces severe symptoms requiring home medical care, yet she studies and volunteers at an NPO.
Among MG patients, it is not rare to hear that it took ten years for me to be diagnosed. The average annual income in Japan is 4.6 M JPY. Ten years means roughly 46 M JPY lost per person just in work opportunity. This is not only an individual loss. This is a loss for society.
And we cannot help but ask:
If MG had been suspected at onset, if treatment had started immediately, how many people’s lives would be different today?
There is no recent reliable statistic showing how many people face this in Japan. But that is not because we don’t exist. It is because our voices remain invisible.
Our Mission
To solve the difficulties surrounding MG, two things are essential:
- a deep understanding of the symptoms and daily struggles patients actually experience
- support for the career development of healthcare professionals and researchers who support MG patients
For this reason, we are founding the Myasthenia Gravis Bridging Foundation, a public-interest non-profit foundation led by MG patients in Japan.
Our aim is to deliver patients’ voices to clinicians, researchers, and society in order to build a bridge of understanding.
Program 1 Establishing the Myasthenia Gravis Bridging Award
This award recognizes early-career healthcare professionals and researchers who demonstrate a deep understanding of the symptoms and difficulties MG patients live with every day.
MG remains a disease with many unanswered questions. Therefore, we place high value not only on medical knowledge, but also on the attitude of listening sincerely to patients’ lived experience and trying to understand what is not yet in the textbooks.
Applications will be accepted both by self-nomination and external nomination. Selection will be based on submitted essays. We will publicly disclose the selection reasons, along with comments from the Review Council composed of Japan’s leading MG specialists, researchers, leaders in patient support, and physical therapists.
By shining a light on extraordinary talent through this award, we aim to bring patients’ voices into clinical practice and into society, together with experts.
Program 2 Recording Patient Journeys for Qualitative Research
There are 100 different lives in 100 patients. From onset, to the path to diagnosis, treatment, and returning to society. Each person walks a different journey.
We will document these lived experiences and preserve them as qualitative MG patient data in a format that can be shared across medicine, research, and education.
These Patient Journeys (the lived voices) guide the future of healthcare.
Structure of MG Bridging Foundation
All contributions to the Myasthenia Gravis Bridging Foundation (to be incorporated as a General Incorporated Foundation under Japanese law in March 2026) will be added to the foundation’s principal, the endowment. We do not spend this principal. We operate only on the investment returns. This allows a single act of giving to continue supporting society far into the future.
Supporters can also choose to directly fund the necessary costs for establishing the foundation such as legal registration fees, server maintenance, and basic administrative costs.
The directors serve as unpaid volunteers, while the auditors and council members participate as pro bono professionals. All financial information will be fully disclosed to our donors. The establishment of our organization, as well as the planning and implementation of its projects, is being supervised through the pro bono assistance of a lawyer/auditor team led by Ms. Mariko Mimura of Nishimura & Asahi, the largest law firm in Japan. With their support, we are able to operate with maximum transparency while keeping costs to a minimum.

Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a condition whose symptoms often remain invisible to others, and many patients live each day without those around them noticing their struggles. Through my long involvement in the clinical care and research of MG, I have come to realize that it is essential not only to “provide treatment,” but also to “walk alongside each person’s life journey.”
I find it truly reassuring to see young people taking the initiative to deepen understanding of MG and to foster a community of mutual support. I believe that these activities will serve as a meaningful learning environment for early-career clinicians and a source of hope for patients and their families.

of Medical Science,
Recently, I had the opportunity to hear from young people who are living with myasthenia gravis (MG) while studying at university or continuing their work, and I learned about this activities. It reminded me of helping patients form a support group half a century ago. Even though medical science has advanced since then, I realized once again that efforts like this are still needed today.
MG has characteristics that differ from other illnesses, with symptoms that are difficult for the general public to imagine. For this reason, I support creating a society that understands these challenges and provides an environment where young people can be supported. My contribution may be small, but I hope to help in any way I can. (The photo of Dr. Kawamura is reprinted with permission from Weekly Medical News, Issue No. 3550.)

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular junction disorder caused by autoimmune mechanisms. Over the past decade, major advances have been made. For example, antibody subtypes have been identified, and molecular targeted therapies tailored to those subtypes have expanded the possibilities of symptom control.
However, even today, there are patients who wait years before diagnosis, patients whose disease progresses due to unknown antibodies, and patients whose daily lives are disrupted by fluctuation triggers such as Uhthoff’s phenomenon. MG often appears during key life stages such as school, work, marriage, pregnancy, and parenting. Also, the fear of relapse and lack of societal understanding have profound effects on life planning. Since symptoms are not always visible, patients can be misunderstood and isolated. Behind this lies a lack of imagination by both society and healthcare toward “invisible illness.”
The Myasthenia Gravis Bridging Foundation seeks to bring patients’ lived experience into clinical, research, and educational contexts, making those voices a new foundation of knowledge. This is a concept that transcends the boundaries of medicine, and fosters a culture in which patients and professionals learn together.
As a physical therapist specializing in neuromuscular disease rehabilitation, I strongly support the establishment of this foundation and its mission. Reconstructing healthcare starting from patients’ voices is a universal principle across all medical fields. I sincerely hope that this initiative becomes a “bridge” toward a more human-centered healthcare future.
Message from Founding Members
Medicine moves forward when we pay attention to what patients actually live.
Our goal is simple:
to make MG patients’ experience visible and usable inside healthcare, research, and education.
When lived reality becomes part of knowledge, healthcare becomes more human, and more accurate.
This foundation exists to build that bridge.
Thank you for believing in this work, and for standing with us.

As a person living with myasthenia gravis and also as a physician, I constantly ask myself what I can do right now to reduce, even by a small amount, the number of patients who are left behind in the gaps of medical care and social systems. Gathering and sharing patients’ voices means making each individual experience visible and affirming their existence, and I believe this carries enormous social significance. As a fellow patient, I strongly support these efforts, and I sincerely cheer you on with the hope that we patients and our families can envision a slightly brighter future than we do today.

I am a patient who received an MG diagnosis last year. At the onset, I was not diagnosed right away, but while researching possible illnesses that matched my symptoms, I learned about MG. By informing my doctor, I was referred to a specialist and able to undergo testing. Fortunately, I received a definitive diagnosis about two months after onset. However, I have heard that there are many people who continue to suffer for years without receiving a diagnosis. I sincerely hope that patient voices will help make medical care smoother, and I wholeheartedly support your efforts!

It took many long years to reach a diagnosis, and I was ultimately told it was a psychiatric condition. I went through great hardship before finally accessing appropriate treatment. I also kept my illness a secret from everyone in order to continue working. Because of my own experiences, I feel a deep connection to this project. I sincerely hope that understanding of this disease will improve in every aspect, and that fewer patients will have to sacrifice important life stages.

I was also diagnosed with myasthenia gravis (ocular type) when I was 25.

Through this activity, I truly hope that “mutual support” between people will not be just temporary, but become a lasting bridge.

In patient groups and elsewhere, there are many people who struggle because their MG diagnosis is delayed, and even when the diagnosis is made quickly, symptoms fluctuate greatly and the establishment of optimal treatments still seems insufficient. I sincerely hope that this foundation will support efforts that lead to an increase in the number of specialists who can work toward solving these issues.

I truly want to support your hopes and actions as you face illness while trying to stay connected to society. Five years ago, I experienced breast cancer. In the midst of fear and hardship, being connected with others saved me, and it helped me feel that I could keep moving forward. Now I am healthy again, smiling, and spending each day doing the things I love.
On good days, I hope you can feel plenty of small joys, and on difficult days, please let your heart rest. I genuinely want to be a source of strength for you. I am cheering for you quietly from far away, but close at heart.
