My neuro thinks I may have vasculitis. She said that it is the inflammation of the blood vessels and it affects the nerves and muscles depending on the severity. I go Tuesday for a repeat of the EMG and nerve conduction tests. I have severe neuropathy in my feet and I am high dose prednisone and cellcept. This combination has made me feel better but the neuropathy is still pretty bad.
I was told it was mostly systemic and is a result of another disease. They know mine is autoimmune but do not know which autoimmune disease it stems from. The medicine combo that is working so far (I feel better than I did) is the treatment for lupus vasculitis.
