Is lems likely to cause nutritional deficiencies. had muscle weakness thighs/arms for 18 months and what looks like malabsorption. any ideas?

LEMS: Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome is a neuromuscular disorder. I am unaware that malbsorption is specifically its cause. However, a malabsorption problem would aggravate it. I good source to explore this is Immunolabs. They have a great web site about malabsorption . Hope that helps.
