hi
I have also a suggestion for you:
Try to find out if your area has a support group for Lupus, Sjoegren, Neuropathy or what you need, or also Rheumatology

There should be one, I know there is a support group for Vasculitis up there in Tampa area. I live in South Florida, I found a support group for my particular autoimmune disorder. I called, and I had E mailed to me a list of doctor of recomandation that had some experience wiuth my particular problem. You could give it a try!

I was lucky to have a rheumatologist referred by my dermatologist. I tell you, this doctor is the best! She is with the University of Miami. This same system they are with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. There is also one professor there that teaches regarding peripheral neuropathy, and he sees pations once a week.

It could be worth the drive down to Miami, 3 hour or so from you

Good luck
