Hi,

IVIG takes the antibodies from numerous (I've been told 1000) od transfusions and you have monthly infusions. If your PN is autoimmune mediated, the infusion will knock out the antibodies your body is making. IVIG is one of the few treatments that will actually reverse symptoms. When I first started taking it my legs were cramping so badly I walked like a zombie and thought I was quickly heading for a wheelchair. IVIG did an amazing job my first few infusions relaxing these cramps. It also eliminated several neuropathic muscle pains I had. Google it and see what you think. There are studies going on using IVIG for SFN and the initial results are promising.
