GLP-1s, weight loss, and Neuropathy
Wondered if anyone has experience with Neuropathy, with or without T2 Diabetes, was overweight, went on the GLP-1 medications, lost weight and got A1C down, and saw improvement or elimination of Neuropathy symptoms? or went thru all that and saw no improvement of PN?

The brand name product used in my IVIG infusion is Gamunex - C.
This is first-line treatment for CIDP. My understanding is that the medication is a cocktail of blood platelets from some 6 to 10 thosand people, designed to modify my auto-immune system.
My conclusion is that minimal stretching and strengthening exercises are essential to maximizing the results
of IVIG treatment. The same is likely true for CIDP patients who are not receiving IVIG.
@constable12 hello, I am going to
Penn Hospital/University of Pa on April 6th for my dx of CIDP. In the meantime should I try eating Cashews? How. Raw, unsalted and how many a day? Does it help. Also what is Thick Carpet Waffle Board? Thank you for any help you can give me.
I eat 6 - 8 raw, unsalted cashews every morning and have done so for about 2 years.
The waffle board reference is to the physical stress experienced when I stand for roughly 5 minutes or so intervals on thick carpet (while singing in the church choir).
Both of these started at the same time, roughly two years ago, and both seem to have contributed to the beginning of substantial PN remission.
It is logical that I would continue to benefit, although this is more difficult to assess as a result of the fact that I
have been taking IVIG infusions for almost a year.
