I was up to 600mg 4x per day, with no relief in my symptoms.
That’s when my neurologist said let’s discontinue it and try IVIG infusions every 3 weeks x 2 days per week.
After 8 mos of infusions they also did not do anything for my symptoms.
All they did was make my veins harder to access, the net time I needed an infusion.
I’m glad I didn’t go thru getting a port,before they were discontinued.

Have you ever found any treatment that reduced your pain? I was put on fentanyl eventually for other reasons, back in the day when I had neuropathy pain. It helped quite a bit, although it didn’t totally get rid of it.

Thank you for your reply. I have tried tens without relief. I have my own machine ; didn't help. I had it turned up to max frequency and strength- still didn't touch the pain. Thankyou for the tens rec though
