You know, this may be way off base, but your strange cessation of neuropathy pain while sick with infection has me curious.

Just trying to think logically here. In immune mediated neuropathy, the best course of treatment involves suppression...thus reducing antibody production and activity.

I wonder if your cessation of neuropathy symptoms has to do with your immune system being focused on the infection, not attacking your nerves. When you get an infection, your immune system ramps up and becomes very active...so in that sense, you'd think the neuropathy would be worse, but for you it did the opposite. So I wonder if the infection redirected the antibody activity, for lack of a better description...does this make sense?

If possible, then I think this entire experience with the infection and cessation of SFN might actually indicate more probability that it's immune mediated.

But like I said at the start...I could be out to lunch here and completely off my rocker. I was just thinking out loud...and outside the box.
