CIDP and Severe Neuropathic Pain ?

Does anyone, that has CiDP, also have severe neuropathic Pain?

I was reading an article by Richard J. Barohn, M.D., Professor of Neurology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, TX

He says that, "painful paresthesias are not common" ? I was diagnosed with CIDP but I suffer from dibilitating neuropathic pain in my feet and hands daily and I am using the Fentanyl Patch, strength 75mcg, every 48 hours, Elavil 150mg a day and Neurontin 3600mg a day and I still suffer from the pain. I also undergo IVIg infusions every 14 days. I do have some ok days, pain at 2-3, but other days my pain shoots upwards to a
7-9 on the pain scale. So, I was wondering how common place or uncommon place is severe neuropathic Pain with a dx of CIDP?

Thanks for any information you might beable to share.

Warmest regards,
