Hello: My Mother is 72 years old and has since May become progressively weaker, starting with foot drop that has progressed to the point of uselessness. Her other leg is starting to become weaker and she uses a walker. She has seen 4 different neuros and has had many tests sometimes several times. She even had a muscle and nerve biopsy. She remains undiagnosed. Her current neurologist at USC prescribed IVIG for her, 4 days in a row, 4 months in a row. I am an RN and I am administering these meds. Although she has not received the diagnosis of ALS she continues to fixate that this is what she has. Understandably her fear is great. She is afraid all the time. She wants to know what is going to happen next and it seems no one can tell her. We have a large family, one of my sisters is an MD, internal medicine. Everyone is stepping around this fear of my Mother's. I would like to help her either way. Can anyone relate to this and do any of you have suggestions? I appreciate anything I can get at this point. Thanks Barbiern3
