My neuropathy came from vitamin deficiency after GBS.

It seems like if that is the cause (vitamin deficiency), most people are lacking in B12.. but my B12 wasn't low until months into the neuropathy. It was my vitamin D that was dangerously low... I haven't met anyone who developed neuropathy from low vitamin D levels.. it is always B12. So, I'm not quite sure.. but it was due to the surgery and the fact that my body stopped absorbing correctly.

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.
