Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I have very similar symptoms for about the last 4 months. I also have bad upper back issues. My short fiber neuropathy started immediately after a cervical spine steroid injection (Kenalog). I just saw a neurologist at the Cleveland Clinic who did not offer any real help. I am thinking of trying IVIG treatments for autoimmune disorder. The Cleveland Clinic doctor thought that I may have an autoimmune disorder. Has anyone tried that?

I've had IVIG treatments for over 2 years for CIDP and small fiber neuropathy. A neurologist has to recommend IVIG for your condition. Insurances are not always receptive because it is an expensive treatment. Most doctors won't push for this treatment for small fiber neuropathy unless all other drug options have been exhausted.
