[Manila, Reuters]-Philippine President Duterte (74) revealed on the 5th that he suffered from intractable myasthenia gravis and that his eyelids would hang down.
I mentioned this when I gave a lecture to the Filipino community in Russia.
The president explained that the reason why one eye looks smaller is “because of muscle dysfunction”. This statement was included in an email sent to the Filipino media on the 6th.
The disease weakens the muscles and there is no effective cure that can be completely cured, but there are ways to relieve the symptoms.
