Is Neuropathy curable or just treatable? Does anyone know?

I'm glad to hear IVIG worked well for you. From my understanding, IVIG should tame down the overactive immune system for a while allowing the body to rejuvenate. I'm also interested in pursuing this treatment if my doctor approves as my neuropathy is likely autoimmune mediated as well. Do you know approximately how much IVIG cost per treatment without medicare approval? I've heard $3500. Is this about right? Thanks for your help.

Yep, thats the explanation my doc gave me too. As for the non-insurance cost, I don't know. I never asked although that number sounds about right. Are you considering paying out of pocket? By my calculations that would come up to $60k or more per year. Yikes!! I'd rather spend those saved bucks on experiences...like travel especially since the IVIG is not curative. Keep me posted on what you chose to do.
