If it's small fiber neuropathy it might cause a loss of sensation. There are different types of nerves in your body. Trust me I was in your shoes over a year ago. My wife and I live in a 3 story home and I was thinking we might have to move because at some point I might be in a wheelchair. I was also terrified of being a burden to my wife. Obviously that is not the case... I can still run and walk long distances. Take a deep breath... I know the hell you are in. It's the unknown and the things that might happen next. It's terrifying. You will either get better and resolve or you will adjust to your issues and over time your worry about them crippling you will fade. Quote:
GBS is not a common diagnosis... 1 in 1,000,000 per year. Also GBS is rapidly progressive... It's not something you have a mild case of and it waxes and wanes. Unless you are stumbling over your own feet when walking or can't grasp a pen or your keys you probably don't have it. |

Dry eyes may be a sign of Sjogren's syndrome. This affects women more than men, and is autoimmune triggered. It causes neuropathy also.
http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-c...n/con-20020275 Tingling is a sensory symptom. When people become paralyzed, it is an attack on the motor neurons which cause movement. These are two different nerve systems. The motor neurons have insulation on the long axons that carry signals, and this is called myelin. The myelin is not present on all sensory fibers. Here is a link explaining the types of fibers of nerves that send impulses from the periphery to the brain (sensory): http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/cv.html The majority of sensory fibers do not have myelin (if they do it is less than a motor neuron has). But some have a little. Myelin is shown in yellow in the link chart. Autoimmune antibodies attack myelin and interfere with signals in those nerves. There are also special clusters of nerves in a ganglion along the spine just outside the spinal cord. This ganglion is called the dorsal roots. Antibodies and toxins can attack there also damaging signals from the body to the brain. This explains dorsal roots: https://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/spinal.html Most people can repair damages to both areas of neurons. But some genetically lack the enzymes to do this. Research in this area is ongoing now, on how to help those who cannot repair their damages when they happen. Those that can repair do take some time to do so.

So if I have tingling on all my body. And I didn't have sharp stambing pain in the joins down now that is only in the hips and hands and lower arms. Would that cause paralyzed? |

Weakness and numbness are more drastic symptoms.
Being paralyzed is a dramatic situation. The muscles lose their ability to work and that is a consequence of paralysis. Tingling and other sensory symptoms may precede a GBS, but it typically moves quickly to paralysis of muscles. It is not common. You would have it already if you were to have it all.
