Anti-mag peripheral neuropathy and BTK inhibitors

Posted by wcooke @wcooke, Mar 13 5:27pm

I understand that a few doctors in the US are prescribing BTK inhibitors to treat anti-may pn and have had some success. Has anyone received such treatment and if so, will share name and contact information of your doctor? Thanks in advance. Walter Cooke

Walter,
I didn’t see Gregg’s response. Would you mind sharing?

Gregg's response seems to have disappeared or maybe I cannot find it. Will keep looking. As I recall his response, said he had been on BTK inhibitors for 3 years which had removed the pain but not the numbness. Walter Cooke

Sorry, had an account snafu. Yes, I have been on zanubrutinib (“Brukinsa”) for three years. Numbers have all dropped, and progression seems to have noticeably slowed. Areas that were numb before seem a bit more numb now, but not alarmingly so. — Gregg
