These can be contrasted to the more global autoimmune attacks associated with such conditions as the anti-nuclear antibody associated vasculopathies and connective tissue disorders (i.e., lupus, polyarteritis, scleroderma) in which the neuropathy is secondary to the autoimmune attack, often through cross-reactivity.
According to the team at Columbia, this is the category that they put me into. Would that be considered inflammatory or not?

Also, I don't know if they were right because the only thing they could find was the low bp and high ANA. My daughter who is having the same symptoms has a completely normal ANA, so my high ANA could have been throwing them off since they had nothing else to go on besides nerve damage.

Just so frustrated.
