Specializes in Internal Medicine

A number of : "systemic" (whole body) disorders can appear with NEURITIS as ONE of a number of inflammatory condtions (Example systemic LUPUS) Since these disorders are all TREATABLE would strongly suggest a complete RHEUMATOLOGY evaluation! Hope this is helpful!' Dr Z
