H-Pylori has been shown to cause an autoimmune type of neuropathy. Or a molecular mimicry type neuropathy. When I first got PN, the blood tests showed that I was borderline anemic (iron), and I was also having gut problems and it turned out to be helicobacter infection as well. These were my very first diagnostic tests for my PN.
Over the last 3 yaers I have read the posts of many PN'ers who describe this overwhelming fatigue with their PN. I was also one of them too. I had an autoimmune type PN. I also had autonomic instability or liability. Not necessarily autonomic neurpoathy as my autonomic testing was normal too. But I knew that something wasn't right and I had fatigue yet I was also anxious. These can very well be signs of an unstable autonomic system.
Luckily in time the fatigue went away.
