I am on ivig I do 50mg 3 weeks out of each month and I’m on my 4th month. I was feeling so match stamina in month 2-3 still tired but stamina and About 3 weeks ago I got an endoscopy done and after that my stomachs been a mess, I’m extremely sore and tired.

Small fiber neuropathy cause and treatment? Will i live with this forever?

I’m really trying to find a cause and treatment for my Sfn. This is my history:

Childhood: oral allergy syndrome symptoms (itchy mouth with peaches and similar foods).
2013: severe anorexia with weight loss to 88 lb and loss of menstrual periods for over a year.
2015–2016: significant GERD.
2016: endoscopy showed GERD and eosinophilic esophagitis (not recognized at the time); treated with Zantac.
2019: stopped Zantac after withdrawal from the market; increase in panic attacks.
2020: recurrence of esophageal symptoms; pantoprazole started. Transient POTS-like symptoms beginning in March that resolved by October.
Late 2020–2023: largely normal function with occasional exercise-related dizziness but able to work, exercise, socialize, and live normally.
2023: worsening stomach symptoms, recurrent UTIs, increasing anxiety.
January 2024: COVID infection and recurrent UTIs.
March 2024: abrupt onset of persistent POTS/dysautonomia.
Winter 2024–2025 onward: increasing fatigue and symptoms leading to objective diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy and treatment with IVIG

Do you think I will have Sfn forever and it will just continue getting worse? I’m currently on ivig to try and help but I’m scared it’s not going to help and we can’t find a cause of it.

Heart Rate Fluctuations

Hi!

When walking up stairs my heart rate will raise to 170 and I’m so out of breath and then I sit down and it falls to 48-50 and it feels awful like my heart is stopping than after about 5 min it normalizes around 60. Does anyone ever get like this? How do you fix it?

Thanks in advance!
