hi there

I have sle as well, and at a guess I would say that PN is the most likely candidate as it is not uncommon with lupus. The nerve studies may or may not show it, depending on which fibres are being affected. If a person has PN in the small fibres, it will not show up on the tests so a negative test does not rule out all types of neuropathy.

Remember to check that none of your supplements have alfalfa in them (commonly used in supplements) as it can trigger a lupus flare.

nice to meet you dave
