Post many here have experience with IVIG...

I hope they will come along soon on this thread.

Motor neuropathies also are sometimes treated with
plasmapharesis. This is where your blood is removed, and
centrifuged down, and the liquid portion where the autoimmune
antibodies are found is removed, and the rest is put back
into you. It is very expensive and some insurances won't pay for it.

Motor neuropathies are treated more aggressively than sensory ones, since disability more rapidly.
