What are your symptoms?

One of the reasons my IVIG was increased to neuropathy treatment levels was not for reversal of neuropathy damage (as mine is considered permanent), but instead for slowing progression and specifically hoping to improve some aspects of my neuropathy, to include proprioception. Of course, it is hard to confirm whether or not it is helping this particular part of my neuropathy, but I have only had one fall in the last 6 months...and that is a VERY big improvement for me.

Have they tested your proprioception (fingers, toes, hands and feet)? How far up do you test positive (toes, ankles, knees, etc.) What about the Romberg's test...do you fall with eyes closed?

Some people can be helped with physical therapy...there is specific training for proprioception skills. Have you tried this?
