Default Advise please

I am a 32 y/o physician with post-flu vaccine neuropathy - my sx are burning all over the body -- mainly in arms and legs for last 10 months. My extensive neuro workup has been negative, including skin biopsy for SFN.
I am not sure what to do next. I am on Neurontin 1200 mg per day, Magnesium taurate 400, vit b12/folate and vit d.

I could not tolerate the other pain meds the neurologists tried (lyrica, cymbalta etc.). I really can't be on those kind of meds b/c i have to function at work also. I am very sensitive to most medications.
The neurologist said we could do a 6 month trial of IVIG just to see.. i am not sure if this is the right course.. any thoughts?
I am open to alternative therapies.
thank you
