Default Hi Katrina

Welcome to our forum. You will find a lot of good information here and hopefully you will be able to relax a little bit and not be so frightened.

It would help us if you could get the name of the diagnosis your doctor has written out in your records. We would have a much better idea of what is going on this way.

I think that perhaps "light" and "mild" are probably the same thing-these words might be considered the same in translation. I hope that you have a very mild case. A mild neuropathy would be translated as one that is not very bad. A light case of neuropathy would be the same. A "light chain" neuropathy is different, as Moose stated above.

IV Gamma infusions are usually given in a series and have helped many people with neuropathy. Do you know if your doctor has prescribed more than one infusion?

Also, have you been diagnosed with anything besides neuropathy? And has your doctor prescribed anything for your discomfort?

Are you posting from the U.S. or overseas?
