The only test that shows dorsal root damage that I know of now, is the new MRI discussed on our subforum ... it is on page one.
IVIG is very very expensive and so is Rituxan. Most insurances will not pay for it unless other avenues are ineffective.
We are talking about $6000+ a month, or more depending on how many treatments are done that month.
IVIG has risks... also. There is an IVIG thread on the subforum link I gave you.
There are several avenues to explore with supplements:
1) you already have done the most common one of B12 and Vit D.
2) mitochondrial support nutrients
3) anti-inflammatory and antioxidant approach.
Also I'd suggest you have testing for gluten intolerance and Celiac, as gluten intolerance can be acquired, and can cause nerve damage. Going gluten free can help these patients.

You just have to do some homework at the PN forum. There is no substitute for that.
Post on the main forum there also, as we have some autoimmune posters with lots of experience there.
