My neuropathy is also probably immune without a definite diagnosis and my symptoms are mostly numbness. I feel the reduced sensation is getting worse and spreading and for the past couple of months it became difficult for me to handle small objects, I am dropping bottles caps, keys, pills etc.

Has any of the immune modulatory treatments helped your numbness or stopped the deterioration ?
