A member asked:
I was diagnosed with multifocal motor sensory demyelinating neuropathy. why did they have me get a spinal tap? when will i start treatment
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Couple answers: The spinal tap mainly evaluates protein levels to differentiate the condition from other presenting illnesses. If the evaluation is finished, you should be placed on infusions of IVIG in the near future (best within the next few weeks), and treatment should be provided every 3-4 weeks.
