All - I posted this under LizaJane's Sticky on Neuropathy improvement, but it wasn't answered so I'm posting here to ask my question. LizaJane says "If you've got an idiopathic small fiber neuropathy, or long fiber, and don't have an ongoing CIDP or Sjogren's picture, your peripheral nerves can heal."

Does her statement mean that in folks with CIDP or Sjogren's, the peripheral nerves CANNOT heal? Curious. I have autoimmune symptoms closely related to Sjogren's but I do not fit the strict American-European Criteria for Sjogren's. I have PN in both legs all the way up to my butt. It's been slowly worsening for 16 years. If my problem is autoimmune related, does LizaJane's statement mean that my PN will not improve?

I've been taking ALA, many antioxidants and fish oil for years, but was off all supplements for the past two months to get some bloodwork done, just going back on supplements today. Planning to add CoQ10, aceyl L Carnitine and DHEA.

Just wondering how much emphasis to place on supplements. If I have CIDP or Sjogren's, will the supplements help at all?
