Has anyone had IVIG Infusions for Neuropathy?

About 5 years into this god forsaken condition and after about 25 different medications I was given 2 IVIG's. It will not come as a surprise to any of us that those 2 infusions did nothing and the disease continues its relentless deterioration of my life.

Yes I too have had several rounds of IVIG infusions.
First round was few years ago and I felt no difference in my symptoms so I stopped them.
Last year I got a new neurologist, and he felt I should try IVIG again.
I did 7 - 8 mos at home by a home nurse and I felt no difference again, so my doc discontinued them.

I also have had many rounds of IVIG infusions, and they didn’t help me at all.
I felt no improvement in my symptoms, so now looking for another option,but my Neuro suggested Rituximab, but Medicare won’t approve it until I do plasma exhange.

I had it about 5 years ago and it had no effect on my neuropathy.
