Muscle Disorders: When Bodies Go Rogue

Your muscles can literally get stuck and refuse to relax. It’s a real genetic disorder called

Myotonia Congenita, where your muscles have trouble hitting the "off" switch after you use them.

But that’s just one way your body can go rogue. With conditions like Myasthenia

Gravis, your own immune system attacks the signals that make your muscles work,

causing major weakness. And get this: for some people, common anesthesia can trigger Malignant

Hyperthermia, a life-threatening reaction where their muscles go into a complete meltdown.

It's a wild reminder that our own bodies can have these secret glitches.
