Did the neurologist tell you what type? My testing Emg/nerve conduction test showed All my autoimmune markers high. I was finally diagnosed with sle (lupus) and sjogrens last year by a rheumatologist. I took pictures of my face every day and sent it to him showing my butterfly rash on my face. The lupus diagnosis was in my chart at the hospital from 2009 but until I took pictures of my face everyday did the rheumatologist believe I had lupus. Sjogrens was diagnosed by a biopsy by an ENT and an eye doctor did two test on my eyes. The biopsy was taking four glands out of my mouth. They were inflamed and tested positive for Sjogrens. Just an fyi if you do the biopsy in your mouth I no longer feel that area in my mouth they take the glands between your lip and down below your teeth.

I never had the rash but other things helped diagnosis
When Sjogrens started I did not know what it was but I had no tears and no saliva, that helped diagnosis
I got Raynauds at the same time . Lupus is in remission,
Sjogrens is improved, No improvement in Rayauds
