Neuropathy - Pain - IVIg - Does anything help?

July 8, 2006

Hi, I hate to start off in such a negative way, but I'm looking for

some information that might help me to think positive again.

I just got approved for IVIg treatments and was wondering/hoping that

someone might have had some positive results from this treatment.

I'm at a point that I can barely make it through the day.

I know I'm not the only one that has a lot of pain, but I don't know

what to do anymore to help me get past it anymore.

I've been going to a pain mgt. center for 7-8 or so years and am on

several Opoid medications. I know they help, but anymore they just

don't help anywhere near enough. If I take anymore I might as well

not be alive because I'll just be in a drug stupor and kind of

sleeping all day.

I'm hoping that this new treatment might help some, but I can't find

any real information on it.

Has anyone here had it? Did it help? Is there anything else that

might help?

I've been to so many Doctors that I don't trust or believe any of

them anymore.

My hands/wrists are almost as bad as my feet now. Typing is a

torture.

I can barely walk because of the pain and the Athritis. It's in every

joint I can think of and it seems to put even more pressure on the

nerves....

My Neurologist tells me to go to a Therapist when I asked him to sign

a paper that might help me get a power wheelchair and I don't think I

can walk much longer.

The pain is so bad at night that I don't sleep much anymore and I

know that makes things worse.

Well,

After that great Intro., does anybody have any answers? I hope so,

because I just don't know what to do anymore. I've had to fight over

and over to make it this far, but I just don't know how much fight

I've got left. I'm not thinking about suicide or anything, but I do

wonder if it would be any kind of releif.

Please let me know of anything you think might help, even though

I've probably tried it already.

Thanks for anything you can think of and any info on IVIg.

frankE, the MadMystyk
