Sjogren and PN

Posted by drmeb @drmeb, 16 hours ago

Hello, I have had numbness and no pain that is gradually working up from my feet to ankles for the past 10 years. I also recently had blood tests for my hypermobility treatment that indicate I may have Sjogren’s disease, which is a cause of PN. Does anyone here have experience with shogren’s and the management of their PN?

Thank you.

Hello @drmeb, I don't have Sjoren's but do have neuropathy in my feet and legs with only numbness and some tingling. There are some discussions on Sjogren's that you might find helpful - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/.

While you wait for others who have some experience with both conditions, I found an article that you might find helpful on the Neuropathy Common's website - .
-- Sjögren's Syndrome - Sjögren's syndrome is a common cause of immune neuropathy. It is treatable, so it’s worth knowing if you have it.: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/causes-neuropathy/sj%C3%B6grens-syndrome
