Hi & welcome. I'm not sure way they said if you didn't have a family history of GBS the it probably wasn't that. As far as I know that is not genetic. I actually know someone who had it without any family history.

You have been through so much very quickly at such a young age. My PN started at 48. It came on very quickly and spread throughout my body. However, I have never not been able to walk.

I'm not sure if a B1 defiency could cause of this. Mrs. D or one of the others may be able to answer that for you.

I hope now that you have Medicaid you can get the tests you need and possibly some answers.
