The best treatment for Sjogren's related neuropathy is IVIG. The dose for IVIG used for neuropathy is 3 times higher than that for an immune deficiency and more effective in treating the neuro complications.

With your positive lip biopsy, you should qualify for IVIG.

I'm so glad you finally got the lip biopsy done and now have an answer to the cause of your neuropathy. Now to start treating it more effectively.

Please keep us posted on your upcoming appts and new treatment plan.
