Folate

Sally, sorry to hear about your Miller Fisher; usually the prognosis is good. I am concerned about your big red cells (that is a mean corpuscular volume MCV well above 100.) Folic acid deficiency is a well recognoised cause of this as is B12 deficiency which cases subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord. There is no relation between this and MF or GBS. It is easily treated with folic acid. DocDavid
