Lambert-Eaton Syndrome

Lambert-Eaton syndrome is a rare neuromuscular disorder in which the release of signals between the nerve and the muscle is altered, causing muscle weakness, especially in the limbs.

Common symptoms: weakness in the thighs and hips that makes it difficult to stand up or climb stairs, fatigue, and at times a sensation of dry mouth or other symptoms. Strength may temporarily improve with activity.

Common causes: it has an autoimmune mechanism and, in some cases, is related to other processes in the body that should be investigated.

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist is the one who studies this condition and coordinates the necessary studies. If you experience progressive weakness in the legs or unusual fatigue, it is advisable to see a professional for a careful evaluation.
