The doctor is thinking it is Auto-immune, related to my SLE Lupus. He is diagnosing it as "Polyneuropathy from other unknown disease". I thought he didn't want to call it Ideopathic, as I was kidding him at a earlier visit about the Neurologist copping out with that Dx.
So with a normal Nerve Conduction and Punch Biopsy, leaves me back at square one. I guess in the long run, it doesn't really mater, as all are uncurable, Nd use the same Rx... At least if it is SLE the anti-malarial drugs might help, or arrest the progression. I am currently taking Cymbalta, seems to be reducing nerv pain some.
So the Neurologist has dumped me back to the Rheumy, and she doesn't want to see me for another 3 months, to give everything a chance to work.
This is my lot in life...
