MOTOR ISSUES.
So does this refer to his balance, walking, etc? Because she told him "well, your balance is improved since you have been doing the IVIG (I'm just re-wording her exact words). She then changed him from getting IVIG every 4 weeks to getting it every 5 weeks because as she put it, "you are doing fine and I see some improvement".

So the IVIG is helping his balance issues and not his pain between the toes (when he adjusts his positions), so I'm thinking they are sending him for yet another MRI because they now think "Hey, the IVIG is helping his balance but his PN might be related to something in his back so let's get him another MRI and hopefully this new one will let us see something that we might have missed in the last MRI."

Did I get this right?

Thanks much

Mel
