Mine is not a long story but I really need help looking for answers to many questions in my head. But first, an introduction.

I'm a 21 year old girl from the Philippines. My mother, aged 50 years old is a health conscious woman. Eats healthy and does her exercise regimen. She looks well for someone her age, but this is not the case for her health.

For half a year last year she's been having tingling sensations first in her fingertips, then progressed to her toes. Then after that she had numbness in the areas and now its reaches her fingers. She has also been feeling easily exhausted and tired and get's injured easily.

She consulted 6 doctors (homeopathy, endocrine, neuro) and was recently diagnosed. One said she has Guillain Barre Syndrome and another one, where she had lab tests said she has Polyneuropathy. Her lab tests also said she had severe demyelination. Were confused of this. Are they occurring at the same time? We don't have medical background and I really wish to help my mother recover from this.

There are neurospecialists here but the payment is extremely expensive and we don't know how to start asking the right questions. We don't want to waste money jumping from one diagnosis to another (as the case is usually). We try to search over the internet but come up with our hands empty.

Any kind of help will be most appreciated. Thank you!
