Now I understand why you are stuck in bed. Did this happen AFTER your gastric bypass?

Indeed. The pain wouldn't keep me in bed. It may prevent me from teaching in a classroom and standing for 8 hours a day... but I'd at least be up and moving around...even if only in a wheelchair. Unfortunately, nobody can figure out how to help me with the pooling and therefore I remain stuck in bed.
Yes.. I had the surgery on August 13th (2009) and the neuropathy pain started in December.

My name is Sarah and I am 25 years old. I have a lot of chronic health problems. Peripheral neuropathy and POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) keep me bedridden the majority of the time. I also struggle with degenerative disc disease, disc desiccation, spondylolisthesis, arthritis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) with insulin resistance, allergies, sound sensitivities, and other health problems.
