Ryan I wouldn't want to say what you have or don't have not being a physician and from just reading (though it is a thorough amount of info) but from books I've read many cases of GB, they can't even get out of bed. I could be wrong, though. As I said, layman here.

Neuropathy in of itself is tough and onset of any sort is difficult. Mine was not so sudden. I will reiterate the advise of attempting to stay calm through it as stress only exacerbates the symptoms, at least for me. I have a tremor in my arm that comes and goes depending on flares. Yesterday it was flapping away. Stress.

So if you can try and stay as calm as possible. I know, asking a lot when you have vibrating, burning et al, taking place.

I did not tolerate gabapentin well enough to titrate up so I can't comment on that. They wanted you to stop the tramadol though, huh?

Well, I wish you the best and hope you get quick appointments.
