When you say “despite my autoimmune problems (type 1 DM, )” What is DM an acronym for? Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, maybe?

In that case, there is a chance that you may have diabetic related peripheral neuropathies having nothing to do with CIDP. Neuropathies for which IVIG is not known to help.

The NDIC, National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse has a good discussion on

    Diabetic Neuropathies: The Nerve Damage of Diabetes
