I've been getting IVIG infusions for 15 years. They worked well for slowing the progress of the disease. Starting in late 2020 they began to make the neuropathy worse for several days before getting better. Now it's much worse, 5 or 6 bad days then slow improvement until the next infusion 6 days later. My doctor is stumped. Any advice?

I also have a chronic demyelinating disease but mine is in the brain. Ive been treated with steroids, monoclonal antibodies and chemotherapy. Still looking for the best treatment.

Thanks for your reply. I had three plasma phoresus treatments and ended up in the hospital unable to move for two weeks back in 2007. Been on prednisone am on CellCept. Fear that I'm near the end of the road.
