I'm new to this site - don't quite know how to use it! I've just been diagnosed with anti-MAG neuropathy. Neurologist tells me it is quite rare, usually hereditory. My next step is to have a work-up with hematology, possibly a bone marrow biopsy. I have tingly and numbness in toes, seems to have progressed in the last two years to ball of foot. So far I'm able to function normally, walk my dog every day, go to gym 3/week. It is more of an annoyance than painful. Am anxious to get tests from hematology.

--is hereditary; quite a lot is acquired, generally as a cross-effect of monoclonal gammopathy or other immune blood disorders, which is why they want the hematological work-up.
Take a look at the following from the Washington University at St. Louis neuromuscular website--it's written in doctorese shorthand, but very comprehensive: http://neuromuscular.wustl.edu/antib...imdem.html#mag http://neuromuscular.wustl.edu/antibody/mprotein.htm |
