Hi Amy Rose,
I also have anti-MAG neuropathy. I was diagnosed 8 years ago while living in Iowa. I was started on IVIG and it worked well for 2-3 years. I am now out in Washington State and seeing a neurologist in Seattle. He is recommending plasma pheresis and cyclophosphamide. I am afraid of long term side effects, so I haven't had any treatment for 2 years. Do you have a good neurologist where you are? Any good treatments for you? I am 54 and finding that my balance and hand coordination are getting worse. Last big fall resulted in a broken foot!
Thanks,
Nancy Kay
