Myasthenia Gravis is a rare autoimmune disease, and Brandon Cox's story coping with it is extraordinary. MG is an autoimmune disease that attacks nicotinic receptors Brandon was diagnosed with this disease at 15 years old. The first symptoms he experienced were severe headaches, excessive fatigue, and eye drooping that caused double vision. Brandon went on to become the starting quarterback at Auburn University, not allowing his diagnosis to keep him from pursuing his dreams. His main passion and one of his main occupations is playing football. Brandon has been recommended occupational therapy in order to learn techniques for energy conservation, prioritizing safety, as well as looking into certain adaptive sources such as an eye patch. Eye patches will prevent his weak eye from becoming too strained. I think that occupational therapy will be very beneficial for Brandon and help him maintain an active lifestyle that he is used to.
