A member asked:
Could a virus like ebv trigger motor neuron disease could you feel the immune system attack neurons in neuron disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nope. : True motor neuron disease does not appear to be the result of a viral attack. Guillain-barre, on the other hand, causes (mostly) motor problems and can be triggered by a virus. But gbs is not a motor neuron disease.
