I have Trigeminal Neuralgia altho it has never been linked to my lupus. Unfortunately I can't say lupus caused it or dental trauma or just bad luck but it's here and I live with it daily. Good luck in your adventure.

i have arthritis, PN, erythromelalgia, raynaud's. i too believe they are all related. PN and EM hit at the exact same time, excruciating to say the least. my acupuncture doctor says my body is full of inflammation which of course leads to the arthritis and the cycle just goes on.

Sheltiemom 18, in the past 2 months I have developed small fiber neuropathy in my hds and feet. My feet burn like fire at night and I'm very sensitive to cold. I tested neg for sjogrens but did have a positive ana 1:160 so I'm pretty sure that I have something autoimmune going on. But I do not have dry mouth, maybe a little dry eyes but I do have major Gerd. Lots of arthritic pain and I have what looks like the livedo recticuliar rash on my arms and legs. Do u have any of these other problems and how long between the SFN and the dry mouth and eyes? I see a rheumy next month.

Hello, and I believe as you do. there is a connection in all the auto immune diseases. I have multipal. Had a bad bad virus at 29 years old and while on the er table i felt a tingle all over and on my hair as well. In six weeks my waste lenght hair dropped out. since then it has been one after the other. Artritis, bone degeneration, joint degenerations, barretts esphogus, and of course the origional alopecia universalis. I have never been well during these years, and wind up with infections that do not cure easily. I have been to Mayo clinic, and disease specialists, nobody is making that connection. I am positive they are all related. I am now 60 and really sick with barretts esphophagus, can't control the acid in my stomach and the cells are turning up abnormal. Cervial troubles ended with bad cells too in which my hysterectomy took place. All in all I hope to find people here to with multipal problems in their bodies. I wish you all the best and I hope a thread can be started for multipal auto immune conditions. I also pray for this site. do write any time. I am changing services, but I will be back around. ginnie
