hi there
I have lupus (which is a connective tissue disease like RA) and my sensorimotor neuropathy is caused by my lupus. But, treating my lupus has never had any affect on my neuropathy. I even have rituxan treatments, and my neuropathy continues to deteriorate.

So, I have absolutely no faith in the 'treat the disease and the neuropathy will improve' theory. It doesn't with lupus, which is in the same group of diseases as RA, so personally I don't like your chances. I post on a lupus board, many have neuropathy, and they seem to have the same experience as me.

Sorry to be so pessimistic, just the way it's been for me.
