I have the same diagnosis as yours. It all started with Hashimoto's with hypothyroidism, and years later progressed to systemic sclerosis. I also have tingling and burning along with joint stiffness and skin thickening. I was evaluated by two neurologists in NJ and they did not feel IVIG would be the way to go at this time. I am currently on Methotrexate and will be switching to Rituximab for systemic sclerosis.

Are you on any other medications in addition to IVIG? What are your current symptoms? Your insights are appreciated.

@altabiznet thank you so much for responding!!
I have really bad burning pain in my head, my mouth, the lining of my stomach and my legs! I’m on Mycophenolate since February with no relief!
My neurologist is suggesting IVIG!
