Fibromyalgia and autonomic peripheral neuropathy

Posted by mikee @mikee, Nov 30, 2016

I was first diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1985 and autonomic peripheral neuropathy in 2005.
I read an article in JAMA or Lancet the said individuals with autoimmune diseases often have endocrinological disorders. I went to an endocrinologist who had read the same article. He performed tests that showed a growth on my adrenal glands, fortunately benign but affecting functionality.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

@rinstrot, go to this website http://www.neuropathycommons.org where you can read articles and view discussions under the Media tab. Dr. Oaklander is doing cutting edge research on small fiber neuropathy and fibomyalgia.

@darlia If you haven't yet made a decision about KC or Iowa, check out Dr. Glen Lopate at Washington University School of Medicine. He's part of http://www.neuropathycommons with Dr. Louise Oaklander.
