I think that working with MG depends on the severity of your symptoms. I believe many people with MG work. I work a full time job. At times it isn't easy but I am able to tell when I need to take it easy. I don't think a MG diagnosis should limit your career possibilities, but if your MG is severe and not responding to treatment, you may be unable to work.

Yes they can. Work that does not need the use of energy, sit down jobs like administive positions, stress free jobs, travel agents.

A lot depends on the type of Myasthenia the person possesses. There are people who only develops in the part of the eye, while there are people who develop widespread. Thus hampering their activities

Yes you can work in virtually any function, since we don't have to do a lot of physical effort. I believe that the ideal is to work part-time.

Yes, although jobs that require dexterity, muscle strength and physical effort are discouraged.
