Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

The Cleveland Clinic doctor said that he didn't think IVIG treatments were very effective. Have they been effective for you? My sister's niece had Lyme disease with neuropathy symptoms and she had IVIG treatments helped her. When you have small fiber neuropathy you'll try anything.

Most neurologists treat small fiber neuropathy with drugs like cymbalta, lyrica, neurontin,etc. Since I have CIDP, the first treatment is IVIG. It's most effective for small fiber too but insurances don't want to pay for this treatment. Most doctor's don't want to do the paperwork to justify IVIG treatment for SF.
