Mononeuritis Multiplex

Posted By Jenny Singer on August 18, 1997 at 13:19:21:









I have been diagnosed with Mononeuritis Multiplex.  The symptoms have been coming on strong for eight months - ulnar nerves in both arms, and toes in both feet.  Excessive sweating, mostly after a meal  Although there have been no difinitive positive resutls for an immune problem, they do believe that is the cause..  I have been on 15 mg. of Prednisone a day for eight months, including Neurontin and Paxil for pain.  I took 100 mg. Imuran for about two months, but it started to affect my liver, so I was taken off of it last week.
My doctors, (neurologist & rheumatologist) want to to take a more agressive approach now, and offer me 5 choices:  Three of them are chemo drugs, and one is IVIG, and the other, Plasmapheresis.
They like the Plasmapheresis as the first choice, since there are no side effects.
What do you think?
