Default autoimmunedisease and receeding gums

I wonder if anyone here has had any experience with an autoimmune disease causing receeding gums and periodental problems.

I am still being investigated for different autoimmune diseases causing peripheral neuropathy. So far I am being treated for vasculitis.

In the meantime I have so many things "popping" up as symptoms.
My gums are receeding now, and at a fast rate. I have been evaluated for gum transplant. Have been waiting due to having such severe neuropathy flare ups and being on immunosupressant meds as well as Prednisone on and off. I am off the Prednisone now for short while as well as the Methatrexate, going to have a skin biopsy next week. So I could have this procedure done now, but I am not so sure this procedure is going to be a long lasting solution.
I could go on to the Dental Forum
But I was wondering if any one for example with Lupus or other conditions have experieced this.
Thanks for reading this.
