This is not a recent paper tho.
Thanks MrsD.

Very interesting article. I see where product/lot might make a difference, but I also noticed that it seems in cases where the blood/nerve barrier is impaired (as in patients with neuropathies, etc) the chance may increase. It also can increase in patients with migraines (which I do not have a history of).

It's something to think about and discuss with my neurologist (he's working me in this Friday). We may just go back to the high dose IV methylprednisolone or Cellcept to treat the Sjogren's in hopes to slow the progression of the ganglionitis.
