Debi may I ask how you developed small fiber neuropathy? Do you have auto immune condition?

I was already pre-diabetic going into chemo and had some burning toes after working all day but never paid much attention to it. I had 6 rounds of carbo/taxol treatments, my A1C went up during that time and that is where my small fiber neuropathy is coming from. Some people recover that have this and it just goes away but my skin punch biopsy had a scale of 0 to 15 and I have 0.00 and 0.06 on the 2 punches I had. The dr said he could work with regenerating the nerves if the results had been 4 to 7 but not with zero A and C Fibers. Nothing to do with autoimmune.
I have read previous posts that talked about how hard it was it get the IvIG treatments approved by insurance so thought I'd pass that along to you 
Good luck !
