Hope so much it helps with my SFN. It is now in every part of my body including my teeth! Kind of just accepting it but hope this may help me. The problem is that I don't expect to get to the end of 5 days and say yes it worked. What do I say to the neurologist if I feel the same at the end of 5 days. I don't want to stitch myself up and instead want to keep at it for as long as possible to give it a chance.

The 5 day infusion is typically the "loading dose" and they should continue monthly after that for at least 12 weeks.
