If this were due to toxic mold exposure, you might not feel better since your neuropathy is more systemic and advanced (it will probably be a good amount of time before you feel better). You would think that others in your household might feel a little bit better since they are not as symptomatic as you. Also, if this were due to toxic mold, everyone in your house would likely not be impacted....at least that is what some doctors say they see clinically.

I hope you still have tick borne disease on the table as one of the possible causes, given that you live in an endemic area. The hard part of this whole tick born conundrum, is how to treat it. There is no agreement on that at all. I've been on Pub Med quite a bit and it is so confusing; too many scientific egos in that game.

I do follow the blog of one lyme literate doctor who seems like a pretty sharp guy. I think he actually even does a punch biopsy in his office because he does see neuropathy in his patients. I really haven't seen this talked about in many places. Here is the link, if you are interested.

Are you still pondering IVIG? I don't have much knowledge about it, however there are many good posts in the archives on this message board. I think if it was offered to me at this point, I would probably take it.
