A member asked:

What is prognosis for multifocal motor neuropathy?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Neuropathy: It affects men much more than women. Symptoms also include muscle wasting, cramping, and involuntary contractions or twitching of the leg muscles. The disorder is sometimes mistaken for amyotrophic laterial sclerosis (als, or lou gehrig's disease) but unlike als, it is treatable. An early and accurate diagnosis allows patients to recover quickly.

See below: Patients usually start to see improvement within 3 to 6 weeks of starting treatment. Over the long hall it is a somewhat progressive disorder.
