Through a long Instagram post, Mushking revealed that he was actually suffering from Myasthenia Gravis, a lifelong chronic neuro-muscular auto-immune disease whose symptoms are similar to Miller Fisher Syndrome.

“I’ve been waiting for the right time of full recovery to send a grand thank you message for your prayers, support and financial contributions during my dire season of sickness but it seems that time is not coming soon. When I fell sick I was wrongly diagnosed with Miller Fisher Syndrome, a rare non-chronic condition when in fact I have Myasthenia Gravis, a lifelong chronic neuro-muscular auto-immune disease. Their symptoms are very similar: paralysis or weakness of muscles, double vision, chronic fatigue etc but are managed with the same procedures hence why I didn’t deteriorate further,” he said.

According to the video director, he is doing much better but may not be able to fully regain his sight and physical independence.

“I have only just recently come to terms with the fact that I might not have my normal life back -my 20/20 vision, my physical independence and my strength. However there is a surgery (thymectomy) and mild-chemotherapy (Rituximab infusion) that have 30-40% remission rates in MG patients. I’m hoping to be able to get them when I’m financially ready. For now I’m on inhibitors and steroids to give me strength to move and reduce the pains. I’m not able to exert myself physically as before but I push myself where I can. All in all I’m grateful to God for the gift of life, family, friends and well-wishers like you – this is just a phase in my journey and a setup for an amazing testimony for all of us one day. Let’s continue to pray and support each other. Thank you,” Mushking concluded.
