I didn't have any cardiac tests - just nerve conduction, mri of brain and neck (all normal) plus the awful lumbar puncture (7 attempts to tap!) and serum bloods.

However I did wear a Holter monitor last June for severe heart palpitations and dizziness (later found to be Amitriptyline). My heart was sound apart from ectopic beats which have stopped now. I have bizarre sweat patterns now and have lost my sense of taste and smell as already said. I believe these might also be connected to autonomic neuropathy?

I did tell the neurologist all this and wrote it all down for him. I was told by my opthalmologist that my eyes are pathalogically dry. He doesn't use the Schirmer's but instead he used a tear break up test which he says is more up to date and accurate. I use drops and ointment daily. My teeth are fine and I never have corneal ulcers so I'm told that it's all part of my RA rather than Sjogrens.

I guess I will just have to wait and see what the neurologist surmises. Unfortunately if nothing else flags up I think it will be seen as a rheumatology matter and as I've said my rheumy consultant isn't a very forward thinking at all.
