It's worth a try, just to determine (and learn) the amount of inflammation you are dealing with. Labs may/may not help tell you about your level of inflammation, but they are not very accurate.

My blood shows minimal inflammation which is frustrating. My eye problem is iritis, inflammation of eye due to autoimmune attack. My joints are inflammatory reactions too. I tried corticosteroid shot and one week if prednisone which didn't help the neuropathy.
I do feel that my neuropathy is much worse since stopping the enbrel, not that I had improvements on that.
En bloc, do you know from your latest rheum visit whether a biologic may be used in conjunction with IVIG?
