Default Update...

Thanks for all the recent posts to my thread.

My SFN seems to be progressing up my leg. I contacted my neurologist, upped my neurontin and tramadol, and will see him next week. Most troubling besides the increased and spreading pain, is the dizziness and lightheadedness I get in certain circumstances. These episodes occur when I shower [is it the increased temperature?] and when I suddenly change positions quickly, especially if it is warm. I will ask about the autonomic testing as it sounds like I might be having issues with that.

I have been having serious dental issues and was sent up the chain landing at a very large teaching and research school of oral medicine. They believe I have Sjogren's because of my severely decreased saliva output. The ophthamologist said I have severe dry eyes adding to the Sjogren's symptoms.

Cyclelops, I have been biopsied for Celiac and do not have that. My neurologist believes that the cause of this is either the Crohn's or Sjogren's. He really would like them to do a salivary biopsy to determine if it is Sjogren's. I need to know and will press to have this completed.

Again, thank you everyone.
