My question is can neuropathy be a a symptom of fibromyalgia.

Hi Hopeful
My Rheumo told me you could develope neuropathy with Fibro. Seems for some pple they go together. She told me I do not have Fibro, I dont have any of the symptoms for it. My neuro wanted me to be evaluated by a Rheumo doc anyway .
Also, I was looking at some of your posts dated back to 11/2012. You and a few other posters talked about having IVIG treatments. I was dxed with small fiber neuropathy in Oct 2012. I was wondern if you ended up getting the ivig treatments and if they worked for you?. Does one have to have an indentifiable autoimmune disorder such as CIDP, etc.. can people with small fiber neuropathy (idiopathic) with no known cause or any unknown autoimmune disease be a candidate for these treatments., do you know? Thanks....
