Could you please clarify your question? IVig is a treatment for many things and is always difficult to justify. I have not heard of this treatment just for neurapathy, but I am in no way a doctor. Many doctors do not hear that you neuropathy, there is no cure so why bother? I have done cold laser therapy, which worked for me, I do yoga and exercise ( I walk to 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs a couple if times a day), and for the most part, I eat what I should, I eliminated half of my sugat intake.My neuropathy has calmed down, I have done so much work to be able to get out of bed and put my feet on the floor, without pain. My efforts have paid off. I try to make my nerves happy so they can glide!

Hi @jfn, yes. I’m really asking if/how people may have had success getting IVIg treatment when their doctors or insurance companies are resistant. It has been shown to be effective in many cases of SFN.

I do exercise daily and eat right, aside from sugar. My symptoms, unfortunately, have become significantly worse in the past six months. IVIg feels like the last hope for anything other than pain meds, but the MDs want a definitive antibody test result before they will prescribe. Which would be fine if they could test for every autoimmune disease. But they can’t.
