Maria, do you find that it actually reverses some of the weakness or other MMN symptoms? I have never run across this blood product before, so I'm curious, as it's getting harder and harder to start an IV and I'm reluctant to get a port.

If you are new to MMN, be sure to do some Google searches for other online resources. This forum is very good but there isn't a lot of MMN activity.

Yes, I infuse now 9x per week, 4 grams (20ml) per infusion. It really has slowed the weakness. I'm one of 350 people worldwide who uses Hizentra for MMN, according to my Neurologist at U of M, Michigan.
