If you are concerned, I would request further testing .

I just read one of your other posts and am so glad you finally got a diagnosis and will be able to receive treatment. Sometimes I wonder since IVIg is so low risk, why not try it on idiopathic PN at least to see if it is effective.
May I ask what is GAD? Was your ANA positive?
