As my brilliant Immunologist says: "we use the tests we have, not the tests we need."
While there are some treatments for autoimmune conditions, many of them are just suppression of the immune system as a whole (chemotherapy) and not cures. They are, however, helpful for symptoms.
I have wide ranging PN and small fiber neuropathy, all traced back to my Immune Disorder. My immune system attacks my organs/systems, including my nerves.
The key here is that at this point I am NOT looking for a definitive diagnosis or a 'cure'. I am looking to alleviate my most difficult symptoms (pain, burning, stinging, and itching skin).
Keep posting and letting us know how you are doing.
