neuromuscular multidisciplinary clinic near NJ
Hello colleagues,
I have a 16M patient with complicated history, presumed CIPD but also found to have MFN2 gene mutation. He came to me for PM&R consult, he has persistent distal weakness and atrophy requiring AFOs, hand splints and scoliosis. He has seen multiple neuromuscular specialists over the past few years, but now they are looking for referral to a neuromuscular specialist in CIDP who they can get another opinion regarding his medications (IVIG, rituximab). He likely needs a repeat EMG but I didn't want to do it if he was going to go to a new neuromuscular doctor who would probably want to repeat the study themselves anyway. He lives in central NJ. Any recommendations for a CIDP specialist in this area? Thank you

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
