Rheumatoid arthritis (with a positive Rheumatoid Factor result) can lead to mild, primarily sensory peripheral neuropathy.

About 10 to 15% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis develop Sjogren’s Syndrome which is an auto-immune disease with an inflammatory component.

The information here might help you when you see the rheumatologist Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms : Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center.
