I am a young 71 year old ! I had this illness when I was 20 I had a bad cold two weeks before and the night that the virus was attacking my nerves in my legs was one of pain from then it was onset of not being able to walk talk eat or feel tummy pain Treatment then was hydrocortisone injection every day for inflammation of the attacked nerves today I am still left with weakness in the limbs and my toes are still paralysed my balance is just awful resulting in broken leg and arm You will get better it does go it’s just the damage left I was terrified I’d never walk again and cried a lot 😢 have faith and keep your spirit going wishing you all the best xx

[@QQBKMH]

I had GBS in 2001 when I was a kid (11-12) and I still have weakness and foot drop (both feet) because of it. The week before the flaccid paralysis was terrible, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, dehydration, sometimes I couldn't even hold water down, then started falling over till I couldn't get back up, luckily It didn't affect my respiratory system. To whoever has it or dealing with the aftermath keep on fighting and to the people who have someone who has it, give them all your love and support, they need it more than you think.

I am a 44 year old OEF/OIF Navy veteran and of course within my 5 years I was given many vaccinations including a few cycles of Anthrax vaccines. I worked in the hospital after my time in the service where I was required to receive many other vaccinations as well. I have always been active and in good health and actually deliver wine to many well known retailers and restaurants which require a lot of labor and lifting. I am into my third year now as a delivery driver but after I went to the VA and got the J&J Vaccine it wasn’t long until I started getting tingles in my legs,almost felt like warm water running down my hips, hands and feet with numbness in the lips. I also found it odd to take steps. Then at night I had severe needle like pains in my arms and hands. Excruciating pains! Then I got Covid and my whole body hurt I slept for three days but come out of it! Then something happened in my neck that almost paralyzed me! I got an MRI and they said I had spinal stenosis and got steroid shots in my neck for 6 months til I recovered. Every time I went to the chiropractor it only felt worse. I was in pain pills for month’s but still hurt like hell! Now my back and hips are killing me with each step. Work is torture but this morning I could not lift my arm and my shoulders burn like hell! With lighting pains like hot electric wires in the arms same pains just different parts of body! 😢I have high blood pressure and strange palpitations! I have been married for almost 17 years with my oldest 19 years old in college, 15 year old freshman in high school and my two boy/girl twin babies who are about to turn 9! If it is this then I am not scared, Christ is with me, always is and always has been! I hold his name on high! King Jesus! I am going to call the Doctor Asap and ask for this test! Life is beautiful and I am blessed to have experienced it all! Whatever happens I will embrace the suck!

August 30th of 2019, she turned 6yo, she now hops, skips, jumps and walks normally. Is crazy to know she ever experienced this.

I also developed a pinpoint rash on hands. And the fatigue is severe. I'm waiting now to see a neurologist.

Anyways it's 2nd Feb and we are done with IVIG, Doctors said it's controlled now. My physiotherapy started, let's see how long I would be able to stand on my feet. Guys if you are reading, don't panic and fight it with will power. But as soon as you got these symptoms immediately contact doctors. If you are from Delhi, Sir Ganga Ram is good hospital for treating GBS and doctor Laxmikant is too good... All The Best

Whist this is an excelent explanation for GBS, it also applies to MFS - the only difference as far as I can see is that MFS starts in the upper part of the body, specifically the eyes with double vision, then spreads down the body to the extremities - otherwise evrything else applies.

I had it on september and october 2017, and spent one month on the neurology ward. Fortunately I got over very fast, after 4 plasmapheresis more-less 14 days from the beggining I managged to stand by myself and creep slowly holding the wall, after next 7 days I was able to run on the treadmill in the hospital's rehab unit gym. Maybe important thing was that this time I was in my life form taking part in military course, I don't know... The most problematic thing for me in GBS was terrible diplopy that I had what used to cause big hedeaches and loss of ballance, but thanks God it passed completelly after 2 months. I had big luck that all the time I was able to breathe and swallow by myself. People, care about yourself and don't neglect even a cold.

Organizm sam pokonal chorobe, a po dwóch dniach zaczął mi się obraz rozjeżdżać, dwoiło mi się w oczach, miałem zawroty głowy, uda takie trochę jak z waty i potem doszło mrowienie w stopach. Kolejnego dnia rano wszystko się nasiliło, doszło mrowienie w dłoniach i nawet zębach, mniej kontrolowałem ręce, na nogach ledwo chodziłem... W kilka godzin już w ogóle nie kontrolowałem rąk i nóg, przenosili mnie (bylem juz na sorze), głowa mnie bolała, byłem senny. Aha, jeszcze od początku bolał mnie odcinek lędźwiowy kręgosłupa i czułem takie punktowe bóle pod udami i nad kolanami oraz w okolicach łokci. Potem jeszcze się wszystko nasiliło, trafiłem na neurologię i tam doszli do tego, że to GBS. Ogólnie to dwa dni szukali, robili tomografię, badania krwi, badania na boreliozę, wszystkie były idealne, zrobili mi punkcję lędźwiową, ale tu też było w porządku. Chyba na podstawie wykluczenia wszelkich innych chorób i charakterystycznych symptomów stwierdzili, że to ta choroba. A to teraz jesteś w szpitalu? Daj im znać, że "kolega miał zespół Barrego", bo nie wiadomo co to za lekarze. Nie wszyscy umieją to leczyć. Możliwe, że to jakiś chwilowy paraliż, ale jak nie przechodzi to trzeba poważnie działać.

In comparison with 101 other patients with severe GBS admitted to the intensive care unit, the patients who died were older and more likely to have underlying pulmonary disease. In a specialized center, the primary event leading to death from GBS was ventilator-associated pulmonary infection, predominantly in elderly patients with significant comorbidity......seems few young die....was hard to find.

The mortality rate statistics are incorrect. The Mayo Clinic and the World Health Organization do a terrible job recording deaths. They only count people who die relatively soon after diagnosis. Some die from GBS months and even years later. Deaths (incl suicide) are under-reported with GBS. There are many many deaths that result from secondary problems, which developed because of the Guillain-Barre. Does anyone here know of any?

[@soundreign2319]

I had a colonoscopy and developed coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain and sharp/throbbing upper left arm pain after waking up from the colonoscopy. It took a month and a half of suffering post colonoscopy with progression of these symptoms to learn that I had pneumonitis because doctors thought I was crazy and was suffering from anxiety attacks. It took months to recover from the pneumonitis with two rounds of antibiotics, during the treatment of the pneumonitis though the pain in my upper left arm traveled down to the rest of my left arm and hand, and then into my entire left leg and left foot, I have weakness in my left side and the left side of my lip involuntarily jumps, my right side is fine. I was told that I have Complex regional pain syndrome, but this disease sounds similar except the symmetrical and toes-to-hand symptoms. Anyway, tfs.

I was in the hospital for 3 months, Sept-Nov 2021. I still cannot walk well, still have muscle weakness, and still have neuropathic pain. I hate GBS with a passion!

[@Aprivyet]

So I recently had Gullain barre syndrome, luckily I caught it quite early. The MRI wasn’t able to spot it but the lumbar puncture has the right protein count. I was treated with IVIG and I have very mild symptoms like numbness in the toes and fingertips and weakness. How long does it take for the weakness to go away if ever? Before this I was able to run and sprint but now I struggle with even running a mile at a slow jog. Not to mention after I came back from the hospital my symptoms of numbness were almost gone but now they’ve gotten slightly worse but aren’t progressing.

DOES IT HAVE ANY FLARES AND DOES CERTAIN FOOD MAKE IT WORSE

[@timbup3401]

IN DECEMBER 2019 HAD FLU AND THEN AN INTESTINAL (INFLAMMATION AND INFECTION) WHICH LASTED TILL FEBRUARY BEGINNING . HAD CT SCAN AND COLONOSCOPY AND THERE WAS NOTHING SERIOUS IN THE REPORT AND AFTER 2 WEEKS GOT GBS .FIRST THE NUMBNESS WAS THERE ONLY IN FEET AND PALM AND AFTER 3 WEEKS IT PROCEEDED THROUGHOUT MY BODY . MY MOVEMENTS AND REFLEXES SLOWED BUT WASN'T PARALYZED . BY THAT TIME CORONA LOCK DOWN STARTED . DIDN'T GO TO HOSPITAL . MOST OF THE DOCTORS IN PRIVATE HOSPITALS WERE NOT CONSULTING . MY FAMILY GENERAL PHYSICIAN ASKED ME TO STAY HOME WITH TOTAL REST AND ASKED ME TO TAKE FEW PILLS MOSTLY VITAMIN . HAD HEAVY SYMPTOMS FOR 2 MONTHS THEN SLOWLY THE SYMPTOMS STARTED TO COME DOWN AND STARTED TO RECOVER . NOW FEELING BETTER BUT NOT YET GAINED MY FULL STRENGTH . THIS WHOLE EPISODE OF ILLNESS WAS THE WORST IN MY LIFE TIME . WANT TO KNOW WHEN I WILL RECOVER MY FULL STRENGTH AND WHETHER THERE IS A CHANCE OF GETTING IT AGAIN .

[@Aprivyet]

TIMBU P for me it had some flares after I woke up, the numbness would be worse in the mornings. it’s been a month since I’ve been hospitalized and I still have not recovered my full strength but my reflexes in my knee are back to normal. As for my strength and balance it is returning but very slowly. Certain foods won’t make it worse just make sure to stay away from uncooked chicken. Usually symptoms for a person who was mildly effected like us without paralysis will clear up in around 6 weeks after the peak of numbness. It could be longer for some or shorter period of recovery.

[@timbup3401]

@@Aprivyet SAME FOR ME THE NUMBNESS IS WORSE AFTER GETTING UP FROM SLEEP ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNINGS . MINE HAS BEEN AROUND 5 MONTHS KIND OF GETTING SOME FLARES AND HAVE NOT RECOVERED FULLY .BUT ITS SLOWLY GETTING BETTER EVERY MONTH . I WASN'T TREATED WITH IVIG . INFACT HAVEN'T TAKEN ANY TREATMENT SPECIALLY FOR THIS BCOZ OF FEAR OF CONTRACTING COVID . TAKING ONLY VITAMINS AS RECOMMENDED BY MY GP SAYING IT WILL GO AWAY ON ITS OWN IN A MATTER OF TIME 😥 .

[@Aprivyet]

TIMBU P Yeah it sounds like you had it worse than me judging by how long it’s taken you to recover. I hope my strength comes back soon hopefully by the end of this year

[@HemantPatel-fw9oh]

Thank u sir very useful information about GBS

[@reginarainforth-rivero4668]

My 70 year old brother-in-law was stricken with this September 2018, 2 days after he received the Flu shot. He was in the hospital for 8 months and is now in rehab 3/2020. He is still unable to use his right lower leg. I will never, ever get a flu shot.

[@1951wombat]

I had the aman variant of guillain -barre and am still recovering. Does your immune system also kill the virus at the same time it is attacking the nervous system or does the introduction of antibodies tell it to stop attacking the nervous system and now attack with original virus?

[@ahemersohel5951]

How r u now?

[@RecklessRaichu]

I had covid for a week, then became numb and tingly in my hands and feet which slowly moved up my body and paralyzed me for about half an hour until EMS came. After sending me home the day after, i’ve never felt the same since. Muscle weakness, trouble breathing, chest pains, and occasional random tingling in my arms and legs. I’m wondering if this is what i could have.

[@sybilerwn9116]

Yes it is , Gbs is activated also by immune reaction to covid . I have it for the 4th time now .

Thank you, that's very kind of you to leave the comment.

[@prashantbashyal6085]

Perfectly explained

[@knzzn0612]

it's very helpful, but i like it better when you start with the physiopathologie then the symptomes

[@lornahatch1854]

I got it as a bad side affect from a flu jab. I had it when I was 6 (I'm 18 now), I was in hospital for 9 days, bed bound for 6 months, and took two years to recover fully. I was in a wheelchair for about a year. Hydro therapy was the thing that helped me most.

[@natyfunelas784]

I had GBS in 1993,I was parlyized from leg to waist,I was hospitalized in the ICU for several days,and during those days I was given physical theraphy everyday even when I was connected with IV,I end up to a Rehabitaion Center after being discharged ,It has been more than 30 years since ,I can walk now but I am told that I can not injected with any live virus vaccine. I thank then Lord for these miracle of my life,..took me seven months to learn how to walk again.

[@donjones4372]

Was diagnosed with Periphal Neuropathy in 17, now i have foot drop, how do I know I wasn’t mis diagnosed and instead have GBS ? I do not have reflexes from knee down and continual weakness in my legs. I am a 77 year old Vietnam Veteran and doc blames it on agent orange killing my nerve signals. Thanks for an answer
