Certainly. In cases like yours there is a high prevalence of chronic infections, especially when peripheral neuropathies are involved. If these are involved and can be identified and successfully treated, there is no reason why you couldn't make a complete recovery.
I have been diagnosed with Lupus Pnuemonitis last month and I have been taking low dose of prednisone and prilosec. I still have this tingling, numbness and sensitiveness in both hands and fingers, hoarseness in my voice and acid reflux. I am a pharmacy technician, but in disability right now. Is it possible that I can go back to work. Its been 3 months now,
One common finding among autoimmune patients with positive ANA and RNP as well as fibromyalgia syndrome is that over 75% have chronic bacterial and viral infections. I suggest that you consider testing for some common infections found in these conditions. A list can be found on our website under Clinical Testing (immed.org).
If identified, these infections can be treated (see information under Treatment Considerations on our website).
