There have been numerous people who have used IvIg treatment with varying degrees of success, and not just for neuropathy (and many have posted here and at other Neurotalk boards), but they generally have fairly well documented autoimmunities.

Do you have copies of your test results? (Everyone should.)

Do any of the tests on the Liza Jane spreadsheets look familiar?

(These were devised to be a very comprehensive list of tests for neurologic symptoms--and a good way to track/results patterns over time.)
Thanks for the info. I do have copies of all of my work up. I will ask him at my Tuesday appointment how he has arrived at this diagnosis the Auto Immune situation.
