I’ve not heard of others in the group who have Sjogren’s, although I’ve only been on Connect since January. I started having neuropathy symptoms in November, although I’ve had some feet issues and very minor tremors for a number of years which were never diagnosed. I now have terrible tremors, numbness and tingling in my legs and feet, tingling in my hands, and pain pretty much everywhere.
I saw a neurologist in late March who suspected I had Sjogren’s, as I have PBC and Raynauds (and a liver transplant). I’m hopeful you can find a benefit from TENS. Please let us know. I’m walking 1.5-2.5 miles each day, plus some exercises. I’ve read these help at least with the fatigue...certainly hasn’t helped the pain! I’m being referred to a hematologist for more blood work as they think there is something else going on. And a rheumatologist. I’ve been reading a lot about Sjogren’s...I’d definitely odd and concerning.
@ktgirl - I had a TENS unit a few years ago thinking it may help with the numbness and tingling I had with my neuropathy but didn't find that it helped me but others have had some success and found them helpful. You may want to read through the following discussions to learn what others have shared.
