My husband had this type of neuropathy dx at 65 has had symptoms for 3 years. Luckily he has no pain, numbness in feet. Recently developed balance problems because of weakness in R foot. We are trying to get the Rituxan infusions but insurance does not want to cover our doctors are trying to write letters of medical necessity to the insurance company. Still waiting.
How did you get your approval for your infusions?
