Symptoms of Autonomic Damage to nerves.
When the autonomic nerves are involved one feels many symptoms the most common is a fall in their blood pressure drop in blood pressure and feeling of dizziness when standing up. This is due to small fiber involvement and in CIDP & GBS small fibers can be involved.
Difficulty in passing stools or constipation is common.; sexual dysfunction with not being able to get a erection or it becomes weak.; There is thinning of the skin , bruising and poor healing. Again this is all due to small fiber involvement.
Finally the Motor Symptoms
In motor symptoms one feels weakness. There is difficulty in walking and there is inability to stand up after one is laying down or sitting on the ground. These people will have drop feet and drop hands, they are unable to lift up their feet or lift up their hands.
