Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

The skin biopsy says dermamyositis. That's what the muscle biopsy today was looking for. My other symptoms; dermagraphia, other unexplained rashes, COPD (I've never smoked), hiatal hernia, iratable bowel, uncontrollable acid reflux without disease, intestinal inflammation; are textbook.
Keep in mind I'm not a meat eater, I limit my vegetable intake to the ones my wholistic practitioner said were acceptable for me, I used digestive enzymes, vitamins, other supplements and no alcohol, no caffeine, no chemicals since I was 18...seriously. Because my migraines have been so bad since I was 8 and stomach pain has been so bad since I was 12 I had my first colonoscopy at 21.
You'd asked about MS before, I have increased hyper intense foci but they say it's due to migraines not MS. I'm no doctor but I think the Mayo clinic, I've never been but I have faith they are the best, will discover that people with chronic migraines are because of this white matter.

Well that, like a lot of those I see on these boards, is a new one on me. It looks like the treatments are basically the same as those for other autoimmune conditions and it does look like they might slow it down. I assume that they did an double stranded dan antibody and anti-sm to maybe rule out lupus. All I can say is good luck and keep the faith. Apparently there are periods of remission so hopefully you'll get some prolonged ones.
