Thx again...

Hi Sven, as en bloc said I would definitely get a skin biopsy. It has come in handy for many things and I keep having to 'prove' I have this for various insurance purposes.
I think ivig is worth a shot even with the risks. I tolerated it really well - unfortunately I have just had a flare up. Iv steroids again I feel are worth the attempt also.
Good luck
