Hey Jeff
I have Small Fiber Neuropathy from b12 deficiency and did not test positive for any auto immune diseases. My thoughts were that I did not qualify for IVIG for this reason but Dr says otherwise. I have not pressed him on his theory yet. One step at a time.

and yes, I'm grateful to have a proactive Dr who up to this point has not steered me wrong.

Thanks, @rwinney. From time to time, I'm tempted to push for the IVIG myself, because I'm convinced my PN is caused by some autoimmune process. It feels like my body is eating up my nerves. I also tested negative for antibodies, but there are so many of them. They never tested for anti-Jeff Ab's.
