On the other hand, if your autonomic issues include GI problems, you may have gastroparesis, which typically includes absorption problems as well.

Copper deficiency can certainly cause PN...but you need to know why your copper is low.
No, I don't take that stuff.
My autonomic problems are dizziness, vision problems, low blood pressure, body temp control, confusion, sweating... things of that nature.
What are the GI problems associated? I don't think I have problems with that.
