Patient: Hello Dr. Sudhir, I would like to introduce myself as Roopa from Bangalore. My mother has been diagnosed with MND in 2012. Symtoms of weakness started since jan2011. Current status- foot drop in both the legs, right leg from hip to toe (full leg) weak cannot lift no strength,  left only foot drop she can fold her knee and lift her leg.hands are fine. I would like to take your kind help and know your opinion on this case in terms of betterment for the patient’s condition and IVIG treatment for the same please. I’ve been surfing internet about this medical situation, and have come across “IVIG for MND”. I would like to take your advice in this matter and understand if my mother can undergo IVIg treatment.Your inputs are deeply appreciated.  Regards, Roopa Bangalore Doctor: dear patient motor neuron disease is progressive and ireversible disease with no effective cure found till date. intravenous immunoglobulin is found effective in many cases and can be tried. it  may lead to adverse antibody reactions which are life threatening and very costly.  you need to consult expert neurophysician and get youself  examined and opined..
