Repeat test after 4 weeks improved the result to to 5mm and 6 mm.

I will continue present treatment, and temporarily tear duct plugs were inserted to see if they would be beneficial.
Fallow up again in 4 weeks.
Has anyone with what appears to be an autoimmune mediated neuropathy had treatment for the underlying autoimmune condition and found improvement in their neuropathy? Reading all these threads I am losing a bit of hope that this ca ever be addressed. Although my rheumy and neuro are nice people, they get one negative result anf fob me off and Im getting really peed about it. It seems toyu may all have had or are having this experience too. Is there anyone at all who had tretament for the autoimmune and their neuropathy improved? Hope is the one thing keeping me going at the moment.
