Understanding Guillain-Barré Syndrome

[@schinaa07]

I suffered from the illness in 2018 and in 2022. It stole my life, time and happiness from me but I still fight everyday with fatigue and occasional body pains. It started in my face and eyes with blurred vision and dizziness, doctors misdiagnosed me in the er and discharged me, I left the er room and fell in the er hallway, 24 hours later I was in ICU fully paralyzed. I was awake but scared cause no one knew what was happening until they confirmed with a lumbar puncture that I had a protein for GBS. Godbless every doctor that day, they ran and saved my life and because of them I am able to see my babies finish growing. I am now 35 and try to limit my stress levels, eat a moderate diet and do light exercise. I’m happy to say I am a survivor.

I got GBS at 15 in Dec 2017. Such a terrible experience. Nobody believed me, not even the doctors when I told them I was getting weak. Then after my 5th visit they life slighted me to Kansas City because I was completely paralyzed. I had to wear an oxygen mask for a week bc I also had pneumonia. I had to learn to walk and talk again. I definitely don’t wish it upon anyone.. the worst pain to ever go through. Recovering is depressing, but yes god is with all us and he saved my life.

So sorry you went through this! Why didn’t they believe you? I don’t understand this! had a patient admit for sacral wound and sepsis and was unable to walk because of GB a few years ago… patient can feel their legs but not move them and told me doctors didn’t believe him at first… and now it’s in his history in the chart but he still encounters doctors who don’t believe him… we learn about this in nursing school but doctors are just ignoring it?

My daughter was struck suddenly by GBS on the evening of August 17th, 2024. She is 20 years old and has been in the hospital since. She is essentially paralyzed from the hips down, only able to move her toes and rotate her ankles. Prior to the event she was an active, normal young lady, a college cheer leader at CSU.

My sister who was 16 in 1977 passed away from complication's of GBS, she got it from the swine flu shot that was given in school that year. She ended up paralyzed from head to toe from it, got gangrene in her aorta arch from using a too large of a tracheotomy tube and ended up having 17 open heart surgeries in 3 months, she actually began to get better from the GBS like getting feeling back and sitting up and starting to breath on her own and even ate a few bites of food after 3 months of being paralyzed, but sadly she died of a brain aneurysm. This all happened at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Mn. They had such an amazing team of Dr.'s there. We believe she would have passed sooner than she did if she would have stayed at our small local hospital in Iowa. It is amazing how things have changed over the last 45 years how it is treated!! RIP my sweet sister! You are so loved!! Miss you so much!!

I have GBS, after a flu vaccine. My pain didn’t go away until I fasted for 4 days. Now, anytime it flares up, I fast. Fasting is the only thing that has ever worked for me.

[@silviafahmy1387]

Thanks for sharing, how do you fast? Do you just drink water and nothing else for 4 days?

[@Ioncehadapony101]

Thats what works for me with this. I'm 28, and had a flare up once when I was in the 10th grade. Still, 13 years later, watching what I eat, portion control, fasting, lots of water and a mindfulness of listening to my body on cravings and turning most of those cravings down has worked for me and i haven't had an issue since. Once I feel things in my feet and twitches in my face, I know I'm missing something or I've eaten something I didn't need. Very mindful of my vitamins and lack of is always the best to keep this under control. I've noticed I crave a strong Keto diet and I take vitamin C and D to manage it. Good luck and I hope you're still managing this.

I got this just before my 9th birthday. It started when I was at recess in school playing tag and I noticed I couldn’t run as fast as I normally could but didn’t think anything of it. My mom and I were scheduled to go on a mini vacation that weekend a few hours away, and the first day into our trip we went on a walk down a long trail to see petroglyphs. At the end of the trail I collapsed and could no longer stand up or walk, so she had to carry me all the way back to the car and rushed me to the hospital. I’ll never forget the look on her face, or the doctors when he said he believed he knew what was going on. Sticks with me. I recovered a couple of weeks later but had to undergo physical therapy for months and still have some longterm side effects but they are manageable and I can walk just fine. My longterm symptoms are mostly related to fatigue but with a healthy diet and exercise it seems to stay in check

I was diagnosed around Christmas just gone after three days in hospital. It was scary. I had Covid, which led to sciatica. The sciatic pain abated, but i woke to find I could barely walk. It's five weeks later and I've made very little progress this far. I'm getting around on crutches and try to stay positive. The prognosis for most of us is quite good but requires patience. I'm trying to stay active. I shop using a trolley as a walker and the stairs to my second floor flat are a challenge and a workout. Although debilitating and extremely frustrating, my heart goes out to those who have it much worse than I do. I've cancelled any life plans I had for now. I'm a carpenter by trade, but now have elderly people scrambling to hold doors open for me. It's humbling,to say the least.

I know it's rare that it could occur "that way" but it's worth knowing about.

Thank you for the information on this syndrome. My uncle died from GBS. It’s has been around 10 yrs. now when we knew nothing about this.

[@tlau950]

I once nursed a 3- 4 year old child with GBS in 1982. He was diagnosed at age of 2. He was on positive pressure ventilator and hospitalized on an acute paediatric ward since then. All his development was affected.He was paralysed from neck downwards, his body didn't grow in size except his head. His speech not affected, could talk v.well, needed 24/7 nursing care. When he turned 4, we tried to wean him off the ventilator with support of an ambu bag, we trained his carer and parents how to care for him when he was finally allowed to have home leave. The time when I left my post, he managed to have short home leave for the weekend. Always wondering whether he is still alive today, that's the only and first GBS I nursed. This certainly was a sad experience to share. Medicine has moved on since then, prognosis probably much better these days.

Sad to say they can diagnose GBS and give the transfusions mentioned, the Neurologist was great and her Therapists terrific, 2 years later my wife is still hoping to walk again without her walker and for more that a few minutes.

This is a great explanation of GBS. I can tell you from personal experience that a lot has been done re treatment since 1983, when I had GBS. I was hospitalized for 2-1/2 months in NYU and Rusk Institute and treated with steroid therapy back then. The steroids caused issues with my bones and I have avascular necrosis of both hips and shoulders, though I underwent a complete replacement of my left hip in 2010

The two types of transfusions mentioned in the video are life savers in my opinion.

I'm waiting to be diagnosed. My family doctor thinks I have the beginning stages of MS. One neurologist said he thought it was sensory neuropathy and wanted to give me medications that I turned down. I'm not diabetic. I don't smoke or use alcohol. I'm seeing a different neurologist now. Next week I'll do a nerve conductive test. Depending on what the results are he said I may need a spinal tap. I have lost some of my reflexes in my knees. My MRI results showed some flares that were called white matter disease. This Guillain-Barrr'e was also brought up. So I'm still going through symptoms that started awhile back. The fatigue started in 2017 and the doctor thought it was shift work disorder. The fatigue is getting worse. Pins/needles and numbness in my hands and feet. My lips have a buzzing feeling and have moved on their on for like a second. I get twitches off and on in my face. But no one can see the twitches. My right thumb has moved in the past by itself. My right side has been effected the most. But I have symptoms on both sides. I can park my car and sometimes it feels like the car is still moving. My balance is off sometimes but I haven't fallen. It's one thing to have to deal with a health issue. But adding the fear of not being able to keep your job is awful. I can't see myself not being able to support myself. I use to be a six mile runner and now just being out in the heat wears me out. My legs feel like my shoes are weighted down. It's like everything you are going through is invisible to others while you are hurting in front of everyone. My voice changed a year ago. First I thought it was allergies.I take medication for my thyroid. I've been to see different specialist and now it's in a neurologist hands to tell me what is going on.

I was diagnosed with Guillian Barre in 2004.

I was given 2 vials a day of IVIG for 5 days and had months of physical therapy. At the time doctors knew little about the syndrome so they predicted that I would not be able to live my life without assistance for the rest of my life, I was able to recover 90% of my mobility back. I have been very fortunate to have regained what I had lost.. I am curious though as to how many people were diagnosed with GBS and then diagnosed with another auto immune diseases later. for me 2004 GBS then 2009 Diagnosed with Lupus SLE, Sjogrens, And RA.

Since I've had a 3 part iskemic stroke, lupus anticoagulant disorder, fibromyalgia chronic, campylobacter gastro infection, and this year severe vascular disease (PAD). I live with chronic pain and state of constant flu like state. I have 2 good days per week. Meditation and Tai chi helps, massages/soft tissue, low stress, and no meat at all diet, no fried foods, low sugar and salt. Mentally, I'm stronger than ever as I take one day at a time.

Jeff, I've never had a flu shot in my life either, and as far I know, have never had "the flu". It appears the jury is still out on the safety and efficacy of some vaccinations. My thinking is, don't be messing with your immune system if you can avoid doing so. My own brother will not let me visit him because I haven't had the COVID vaccine shot. This, the same man I visited in the hospital with Epstein-Barr and he never once made an issue about passing on HIS infection, while I was in his hospital room. Go figure. All most of these videos prove is that the "scientists" are mostly guessing and jumping to their own conclusions. And that Fauci is just an over-paid fraud in my opinion.

He's been in continuous therapy since 9/2021 and although he is getting better, he's a long way from walking again. His GBS came on very quickly. He was literally walking at the store at 9pm, by 12:30am he noticed he was stumbling a great deal and by 3:30am, he was paralyzed from the chest down. He was very lucky we got him in to the ER so quickly. The doctor said his damage was extensive with damage to the protective layer around the nerves and to the nerves too. They started him on an IVIg and when that didn't help they did the plasma dialysis, but with no real change. Has anyone else had a quick onset like that? I've not talked to anyone with an onset that took place over hours; has anyone on here experienced this? If so, what was your prognosis?

I had an acute (within hours), purely sensory (non-motor), diffuse neuropathy that was extremely painful and on every inch of my body after a car accident. It felt like I was being electrocuted, burned, or stung. I never had motor issues. But everything else presented itself as GBS. It started in my feet and spread to the rest of my body hours later. My EMG was normal. My symptoms did not get better. 15 neurologists didn't know what it was. 1.5 years after the wreck and onset of symptoms, my EMG started showing demyelination. I was diagnosed with CIDP. I also had a nerve biopsy that showed Small FIber Neuropathy. I started on IVIG a year ago and it was helped the pain a lot. I get frustrated because there's nothing in the medical community about a sudden onset of purely sensory, diffuse, neuropathy. Well I had it and it never went away. IVIG helps me manage, but I suspect I will be on it for years now. I wish they had given me this right after the wreck ... insurance would have never paid for it right away before an abnormal EMG though... weird that it took that long to show abnormality in my EMG, but my symptoms were acute. Does a purely sensory GBS exist?

No more nervous system problems … Just extreme fatigue. Now I’m working 6-7 days a week to get my husband over here - fast. We lost a lot of money in the past 1.5 years due to repeatedly trying to get together and failed plans so I now need to work overtime to help cover costs (which we are paying together but it’s a lot of money) otherwise I’m potentially waiting another 12 months to be reunited with my husband. So I’m killing myself with work when I don’t feel well enough to, just so I can have my husband with me. Only then can I reduce my hours down to acceptable levels to help me recover.

My new neurologist just told me in my 15min visit, that I never had gbs because at 41yrs old I would have been fully recovered at 3 MONTHS!!!! Gee, thanks doc. (I think he bought his PhD)

Very good video. Clear, Concise, Instructive. Thank You.

I had gbs when I was just 2 years old and thankfully recovered but came back just this Jan 2022 and I'm now 14 and I'm still at the hospital as I'm writing this comment currently recovering in rehab

Do not get any v accines..no matter what drs tell you..they are toxic!

This picture should be enough to make diagnosis, but my husband doctor refused to give plasma pheresis life saving treatment. Another doctor did testing and notice elevation of protein in spine. It almost cost my husband life because the delay in treatment one week after recuperating from covid

When I was only 8 year old I suffered from gbs... I was in icu for 5 days took medication and after 2 months I was ok 👍

I got GBS from the flu shot in 2008. I still suffer from neuropathy, loss of balance, low energy, and my vision is worse. I belong to a support group, and almost everyone still has lingering issues from GBS, so I’m not sure if the 80% recovery rate is accurate. My primary doctor said that the medical community has a different way to define “recovered”. Basically if you can do some basic things for yourself you’re considered recovered. You can feel like crap, but if you can wipe yourself, you’re recovered

So sorry to hear that, sending much love

[@teacherkat7005]

How are you now?

[@asie57]

@@teacherkat7005 my energy is still low. I still have lingering issues (neuropathy, low energy, loss of balance). I can’t stand for much longer than 10 minutes at a time. I look pretty healthy, that makes things more difficult because people don’t believe I’m in as bad as shape as I am. This is something I’m gonna have to live with unfortunately

[@teacherkat7005]

@@asie57 do you take any vitamins good for the nerves? Praying for your full recovery 🙏🙏

[@asie57]

@@teacherkat7005 I don’t know of any that are particularly good for the nerves. I do know that cannabis oil relieves the neuropathy some

I was admitted into an Intensive care unit with what they called COVID-19. Intimated after 5 days. On the ventilator for 21 days. When I woke I couldn't move my arms and legs. I couldn't even turn myself in bed. That lasted another 26 days in an critical care unit . I was moves from there to an Acute Rehab Unit for another 26 days to relearn how to walk and use my arms. How to turn myself...etc. Is it possible they misdiagnosed my ailment just to get the bonus money from the government as a covid patient?
