Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Are you talking about the steroid IVIG? I was on a low dose of steroids (pills, not IVIG) for awhile. It seemed to help a little but I was worried about future side effects, so I went off of it. Are the Buprens patches expensive? What does are you on?

I have been on 7.5 mcg patch for the past two years. No, I don't think it is a steroid IVIG as far as I know. Is there another kind of IVIG? I remember when my mother in law was battling severe RA . She asked her doctor to put her on steroids. He told her he would rather she be on opioids. He said long term opioids won't kill you, but steroids will. For those of us who are responsible with our medications, we are being harmed by the addicts who are making it harder and harder for those of us who really need it, to get pain relief. I get so angry.
