Self-introduction
My speciality of neurology is neuroimmunological disorders such as myasthenia gravis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome (peripheral nerve disorders), multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, and so on. And I have been engaged in differential diagnosis of neuroimmunological disorderes. Furthermore, I have experienced many intractable neurological diseases.
