Hi;
A very close friend of mine has Diabetic Neuropathy in her left leg and
she receives monthly two full day treatments of IVIG. I've been reading
up on IVIG and I cannot see how this form of treatment will help the
effects of the neuropathy. Has anyone here any experience they would
like to share with me?
Also, does anyone have any other forms of treatments they are currently
using to control or diminish the effects of the Neuropathy?
Thanking you in advance, all insight would be greatly appreciated.
I can't see how this would help neuropathy either. Standard treatments for
neuropathy are low doses of antidepressants, but this is not a very
effective treatment. What does help is keeping BG in range and possibly
Evening Primrose Oil. It helps me.
