Everyone has interesting points about this subject. There are rheumatologists that are well versed in immune mediated neuropathy and there are those that aren't.
I guess I have been spoiled, as my treating physician at Johns Hopkins is BOTH a rheumatologist and neurologist. He specializes in the neurologic manifestations of rheumatic and autoimmune disease...with special interest in neuropathy associated with Sjogren's. He is the ONLY doctor in the entire nation to be both specialties.
He certainly would be helpful for several members here with documented immune mediated neuropathy (he only sees patients already documented with the combination). His name is Dr. Julius Birnbaum (located at Johns Hopkins), and although a detailed and time consuming process to get in to see him, it's well worth the wait.
