I don't think there is anything that Sjogren's doesn't attack. I have ganglionitis/ganglioneuropathy from Sjogren's as well as numerous other areas & organs that have been effected. Sjogren's can be far more complex then many (even doctors) realize.
Maybe they will reconsider the IVIG after seeing the results of your nerve/muscle biopsy.
Best of luck with the biopsies. Please keep us posted.

The aCL's were negative, but my hemo repeated them. The conclusion was "The presence of a Lupus inhibitor can't be excluded and suggest repeat evaluation when effects of warfarin are not present.
My drVVT and anti beta glycoprotein1 Iga and factor VIII were elevated.
