I am in Egypt now and I went to take a second opinion for my case: Small Fiber polyneuropathy.The neuro surgeon thinks it might be CIDP chronic inflamatory demylinated poly neuropathy.He is recomending the use of IVIG interavenous immunogloblin Which requirs hospital setting for admistration 6 hours daily for 5 days each moth for 2 month then 1 day for 6 month.Has anyone heard about this before?

Hi @azza1 -- there are a few other discussions that you might want to read through and ask your questions on IVIG.

> Groups > Neuropathy > CIDP (chronic inflammatory demylinating polyneuropathy)

> Groups > Neuropathy > IVIG Infusions

There is also another article that I ran across that you may be interested in - Long-term efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin treatment in 49 patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (P5.2-075)
