Thanks for your reply. I took a long list of vitamins before surgery as well as after surgery. I am taking even more vitamins now. It's not that I am not taking them--it's that my body wasn't absorbing them correctly. I took large amounts of vitamin D for several months--50,000 IUs... and stayed at less than 4 IUs (when you should be between 30 and 100 IUs). My body just wasn't absorbing it for some reason, even though I was on the high dose for several (7 or so) months.
I just can't seem to find any information about large fiber neuropathy. I don't know what the difference is between small and large fiber PN is.
I have been told that neuropathy after GBS has a good chance of going away... though with this being such a severe case, it may be like this for life. Who knows...
