Welcome to Connect @kag13. It's rough dealing with such ongoing symptoms and must seriously affect your quality of life. Check out this informative discussion about neuropathy https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-here-dealing-with-peripheral-neuropathy/
I'm tagging fellow members @pamv @giza @bananaz4516 @johnwburns @rabbit10 to see if they may have some thoughts or experiences to add.with respect to your symptoms of uncontrollable diarrhea, shortness of breath, sweat profusely, and unexplained neuropathy. I also hope @idnas will rejoin the discussion.
@kag13, what do you currently do to help control your symptoms?

I take colyestramin for the diarrhea which was prescribed by my GI. I was getting B12 injections monthly until 2 months ago. I have tried gabepentine, lyrica, neuronton, and other meds for the neuropathy but could not handle the side effects. I am at my wits end with no diagnosis. My doctor looks at me like its all in my head. It is not. I have been tested for autonomic dysfunction and it was elevated on one of the tests, but the neurologist blew it off as being thrown off by the flexeril I take at bedtime. Now, that dr. refuses to see me or too refer me to another neurologist. I do not leaving my apartment, I feel so sick. What to do? I am certain this is caused from the 3 emergency surgeries I had when the first surgeon made mistakes inside me causing ARDS, SEPSIS and left me clinging to life. Its a very long and frustrating road trying to prove it. I did not have any of these symptoms prior to going through all of that trauma. Any suggestions?
