I was diagnosed - two separate neurologists - with CIDP in 2020. I had 16 IVIG treatments over 11 weeks and it helped with the inflammation. I find taking r lipoic acid pills helps. Several studies suggest alpha-lipoic acid helps lower blood sugar levels. Its ability to kill free radicals may help people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, who have pain, burning, itching, tingling, and numbness in arms and legs from nerve damage.
