There was gradual weakening over the years in my case, not painful, just annoying foot and wrist drop - to the point where now IVIG has ceased to work -but not complaining! Am looking for alternatives. Be glad to answer any further questions about my experience with MMN and IVIG. Best of luck. Chris

For myself, I don't know if the IVIg is helping or not. Been on it for 15 months.
Being unable to find an online support group dedicated to MMN, last weekend I set up a forum just for us at
http://www.mmnforum.com/forum
One of the categories is Alternative Treatments, which I am also looking into. I hope fellow MMN patients will take a look and share their experiences.
