Can nerves heal in autoinmune small fibers neuropathy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: In some cases, marked benefits occur with infusions of ivig, and we know that diabetics who take metanx experience fibre re-growth and multiplication after about 9-12 months. If problem due to treatable condition such as celiac disease or sarcoid, might also see reversal. Uncover the precise mechanism of the disorder, and treat appropriately.
