I'm curious about the same thing. My husband was diagnosed with MMN in February of 2010. He started receiving IVIG in May (after battling it out with the insurance company) and now, after 4 treatments, the weakness seems to be getting worse, although his cramps and twitching are WAY down all over his body. I'm hoping this is just the way the process works. Anyone have any firsthand knowledge of this?
