So they absolutely think you have Sjogren's, and your EMG's are abnormal, just not wildly abnormal, so they documented the neuropathy, right?
So one way or another, it's a diagnosis? They do not think it's diabetes and they do not think your biopsy was a "false positive". This is good in case you ever have to deal with disability. I've discovered that having been to Mayo and having them make a clear diagnosis makes a good case that insurance companies are not eager to pursue in court, so they may be a bit more flexible or lenient in their decisions.
I mean, I really think it was when I sent my disability company my Mayo records that they became willing to pay me more to buy me out, and realized I was going to cost them a lot, but they'd have a hard time in court.
