Seems that would be my next step if I don't stick it out with lidocaine. Just started my 2nd to last max dose increase. Its been 3 months overall and I'm not convinced 3 days a week at best is sufficient pain relief when I still need pain pills. Time will tell. How is IVIG working and how long have you been doing it?

I had a diagnosis epidermal steroid injection to see if L4-5 was the cause of my small fiber neuropathy symptoms. The doctor injected a small amount of Lidocaine before the steroid injection. For at least 3 hours afterwards the Lidocaine made me feel completely like my old self before the SFN. The steroid never did much of anything for me so I did not repeat the procedure. Are you saying the infusion only last 3 days or that you get 3 infusions a week? Do they completely take away your symptoms during those 3 days? Are the infusions injected in a vein as other infusions are? My main SFN symptom is chronic burning and I would give just about anything to have a couple of days a week that I felt normal again. Once again I apologize for hijacking your post. carol
