A member asked:
What can i do if my mother has been diagnosed with motor neuron dysfunction what are its causes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Call her doctor: The physician who made the diagnosis (most likely a neurologist) is the best person to ask as he or she has examined her and i assume has done the proper testing required.
