Why one man was happy to be misdiagnosed<br> with motor neurone disease | Mail Online

Professor Shaw told me I was suffering from polymyositis - a rare disease which causes inflammation of the muscles. The symptoms mimic so closely those of MND that they can easily be confused.

But while MND is incurable and fatal, polymyositis can be treated with steroids. With prompt treatment, I was told, it was possible I would regain full mobility.
