Following on to my query re a new assessment I've come up with the following tests that I think might be appropriate to ask the doctor to order.

I really think my husbands PN is autoimmune related based on the fatigue, rashes and joint pain as well as the usual small/large fibre and motor/sensory issues he has:

Vitamin B12 and folate levels
Thyroid function
Vasculitis evaluation
Antibodies to nerve components (e.g., anti-MAG antibody)
Rheumatoid factor "RF"
Anti-cyclic citrullined peptide "CCP"
C-reactive protein "CRP"
ANA (Antinuclear Antibody) Test

The first two are usually good, and he is being treated for an under active thyroid anyway, but the others haven't been done in years, some if ever.

Any other suggestions, or comments?
