About James Wymer
My name is Dr. James Wymer, I’m a neurologist and professor practicing at the University of Florida. I specialize in diagnosis and management of neuromuscular diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease, muscle diseases, and peripheral neuropathies. I have extensive experience in clinical research, having been a principal investigator on numerous clinical trials, including studies of ALS, diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, migraine headaches, and epilepsy. I am a fellow of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM), as well as a member of several national consortiums to research neuropathic pain and ALS.
My clinical interests include: • ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease • Neuromuscular diseases • Hereditary Neuropathy • Muscle disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Diabetic neuropathy • Migraine headaches • Neurofibromatosis
