I know the IVIg helps my symptoms and I do better when on it, of couse I do not what happens when I am off of it at this point. But, it appears that it has not really helped the neuropathy that much. I believe that it would take a alot longer than 9 months for the IVIg to do anything with the neuropathy. If re-myelination is occuring and nerves are re-growing, this would be a slow process.

Do you have noticeable symptom reduction related to neuropathic pain due to IVIg?

Thanks,

The last year I was getting the IVIG primarily for the immune deficiency. We just now started ramping up the dose for neuropathy, so too soon to tell about it helping. It will take me (due to past reactions to IVIG) about 6 months to get up to proper neuropathy...they want to proceed slowly.
