Hi @darlia, I have the elevated FGFR3 antibody also. My neurologist sent my blood to St Louis also and this was the diagnosis. I have had severe peripheral neuropathy in my feet for a few years which they thought was related to diabetes but apparently it is not oh, it has been uncontrolled for at least 2 years now and create so much pain for me but I had to stop working as a nurse due to all of the medications I have to take to help me get through each day. I also get very sharp nerve pain in other places like my hands my fingers my thighs my ankles just wherever it decides to hit can get. I started IVIG therapy for months ago and I think that it's helping a little bit but I am suffering quite a few side effects so we will see how things go. I will always available to talk to if you want to talk more about our symptoms and see how they compare. Take care, Kim

Hi, @kim61 - thanks for sharing your diagnosis with elevated FGFR3 antibody and your experience with intravenous immunoglobulin therapy (IVIg).

Will you share more about what side effects you are having from the treatment?
