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.

My Beautiful Wife Beth was first diagnosed with Guillian Barre Syndrome back in early October 2018 and is currently in a nursing home.... She has improved drastically during this time but still can't walk... This has been one of the hardest things we've ever been through in our 13 years together.... There were several times in the beginning that I thought I was going to lose her but she has shown so much strength and refuses to give up... I have been with her since the beginning and I will be there with her until it's over with... It's especially hard when it happens to someone you love & it's one of the worst things I've ever seen and I went through brain surgery in 2012....💔 54 years old when I first heard of this and wish I didn't have to find out the way I did....

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.

Just watched a video of a mother of a newborn who completely overcame this. It was a long & hard road she spent 126 days in the hospital total. Went from being paralyzed to walking again. Great story.

One of my teachers had GBS at young age and it inspired him to become a physical therapist after he fully recovered with the help of physical therapy

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!!

This video is not only great but fantastic! It explained the complicated medical issues, for both medics and non-medics, in a viewer-friendly way.

My dear darling daddy had this in the 1960's. Was in hospital for three months. This was so frightening to look at. By the grace of God Almighty and most wonderful and dedicated doctors, he walked out of the hospital. God bless all those loving and dedicated doctors and nursing staff who attended to him.

My son was diagnosed with GBS just before his 2nd birthday. He quickly recovered through plasmapheresis over the course of a 10 day stay in the hospital. He had to learn to walk and talk again, but quickly recovered. This was in the Summer of 1990 and thankfully he has no residual effects.

My brother had it way back in late 70's. At that time only about 11 people had been diagnosed. But , his case started in his head , a numb tongue within three days he was on ventilator and in ICU for almost three months . Luckily he was young and recovered almost completely within about six months . I remember his nerves coming back to life excruciating pain. It was impossible to keep him down and even before got over the "foot drop" he started playing baseball again. He recovered completely.

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.

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

You are literally helping me get through my finals. I love your content and I visit your website daily. Thank you so much for everything you do!!!! - RN student

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 got this after getting the flu vaccine in 2018. It was awful! Thank GOD I am better, but I have still have painful peripheral neuropathy. According to my neurologist, it is most likely permanent. 😞 And while I hate it happened and it certainly changed my life, I am very thankful I recovered!!! 🙏

My ex wife’s younger sister was struck down with this…back around 1982ish…she almost died several times but thanks to superb medical care she survived 🤷‍♂️…love to all 😘

Got this when I was 19, 24 now and thankfully standing stronger then ever hope all else that go through this make quick and full recoveies

My daughter got GBS last year at 7 years old.. it was a long hard road to learn to walk again, she still deals with pain on and off.. great video

My brother had this when he was only 6. It was so bad in the beginning. He was diagnosed in august 2020 and was paralyzed and needed a tracheostomy. Thankfully he got home just before christmas. He still struggles physically, he can’t run like other kids and isn’t as flexible. I’m so grateful he got through GBS as such a young boy❤

My son got this when he was 4 years old, in 1990, heartbreaking to see such a young person get a lumbar punch. He took about 3 years to recover.

My daughter had this when she was thirteen. She only had a little cold a few weeks before this devastating condition. But had recently received some vaccinations. She’s considered fully recovered. But she is not the same. It was extremely painful. Completely debilitating. In hospital almost two months. Being treated and then learning to do everything again like a baby. Walking, feeding herself, speaking, brushing her hair etc.

My mother got GBS exactly 10 weeks ago... she used to not move at all but now she is only moving her head, even though she's not talking, it makes me happy that she's making progress.

I had it when I was 31 had a child with cancer and 2 other children to care for.I prayed 24 hours a day to get well so I could take care of my girls

My father had guillian barre after the flu shot in the 90s. He was in the hospital for a while and eventually recover ed. I also spent time in the hospital with a woman who had Gilliam barre. It was horrible. We shared a room and she was paralyzed, she could only whisper so i had to call nurses for her, she lost control of everything, she was very young. I was paralyzed on my left side but I felt worse for her! I hope she is ok now. I pray🙏

excellent synopsis...I'm a medical assistant...we ask patients before vaccinations like influenza if they've ever had "Guillain-Barre" syndrome...some patients have asked me..."well what exactly is that?"...so I thank you for the concise synopsis...I'm thinking of checking out the med books to use as a reference...thank you!

a friend of mine has been hospitalized and I've just got the news it has spread to his eyes even. praying for a complete recovery

I was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre` Syndrome on May 24th 2022. I just got out of the hospital after having IVIG treatments. I was lucky that it was caught early but I am going to have a long recovery as I also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. O'Joyous times.

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.

This hits home. Remember a close family member aflicted with this syndrome. It is quite bizarre. One day you are walking and next day you are paralyzed. No explanation, no obvious signs. just bed ridden. I am glad that it resolves on its own but during those times you are confused and highly stressed out. You honestly don't know which way is up and that is for the family member. Its much worse for the patient.

My dad had this as a teen. Missed a whole year of school. He made a full recovery eventually. Likely due to the fact he was young.

I'm not a doctor or even a medical professional, but I'm determined to learn as much as I can before I start my medical degree. Thank you so much Thomas, these are great videos.

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

Thank you so much for your explanation of GBS. I appreciate having it explained so simply and clearly!

2001 got guillain-barre and it hit my respiratory, where I couldn't walk talk or see for 3 years. Had two neurologist that was clueless. The pain I had lasted all through the years and continue, but not as bad. I aspirated all my drink and food. My mylon sheath was affected so bad, the pain! I saw 4 yellow lines a two white lines when I drove down the road. We really have medical idiots out there. I should be dead.

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.

My Grandmother has been diagnosed with this. It’s been 4 days of treatment and intubation in Mexico. She had just left the US and a day later she fell I’ll.It’s been a horrible process. But today day four she has wiggled her toes and lifted her feet off the bed. I’m currently at her side feeling helpless as I watch her sleep. This video has shed some light and reading these stories have brought some relief. I hope that my abuelita will be home again soon! 💗

My father WAS totally recovered from GBS AT the AGE OF 80 YEAR OLD IN INDIA

Just lost my friend to Guillain-Barre. He leaves behind a 2 year old son and a wife. Devastating and shocking. All happened with in a week. Rest in peace my friend.

Thanks for the info about gbs i was a victim of it 3 yrs ago but i have recovered by 95%

I've had GBS several times in my life.... unfortunately. Oddly enough, I'm in a hospital like facility with GBS right now!! I've been sick for almost 3 years...I have breathing tube called a trache tube that's inserted into my trachea through a hole in my neck..I also have asthma!! So that's how I take my asthma breathing treatments as well....the scariest part of all, in my eyes, is that I've been out of my mind for that WHOLE time!! I just got my mind back ALL the way, TODAY!! I did have what I thought were just bad dreams about being in a hospital... but then I realized that I couldn't wake up from these "dreams". That's when it hit me... something wasn't right!! Come to find out, I WAS RIGHT about this situation NOT being just a bad, terrible dream!! THIS is real... I could've died!! My family told me that I stopped BREATHING at one point...clearly they were able to bring me back, but I just can't believe this craziness actually happened to me, to my family, AGAIN.... This is my ACTUAL FIRST DAY of full consciousness...or as I seem to be calling it, (based off of reading my text messages that I have between me and my family) I'm back in "My Right Mind"!! This is so freakin' crazy to me!! This is definitely NOT the position that I wanna be in right now, but at least I'm ALIVE and back in my MIND, to be able to say that!! I just want this mess to be over and done with and I want to FINALLY be able to go home and get MY LIFE back!!! Normally I don't put myself out there for anybody to "see"... but I figured, "Why not?!? I might as well".. so here I am... this is ME!! Hopefully I've been able to help SOMEBODY, SOMEHOW!!! Hopefully I've been able to help MYSELF somehow.... thanks for letting share my story with y'all. Hopefully I've been able to help someone else out there that's going through some tough or crazy times!! Whatever you do, don't get discouraged or depressed!! TRY to keep your head up and stay as positive as you possibly can!! Even if you have to fake it!! It may not seem like it and it may not be clear right NOW, but it WILL get better!! I'm telling myself this as well... this is for ANYONE that needs to hear this!! God bless you and stay safe out there!!! Amen AMEN 🙏🏽😇🙏🏽!!!

I got this due to Covid 19 as I spent two months in a coma and I had all the symptoms. My arm on my left side was paralyzed and had to learn to walk again. I'm still recovering and trying to get stronger.

This was sooo helpful!! Thank you I hope you never stop putting these videos or get demotivated, and best wishes!!!!!

My son-in-law developed GBS on a walking holiday in Nepal - he had a 'flu vaccination which may possibly be how he received the virus but not possible to tell that definitively. His legs and arms were paralysed and he was brought back to England straight into hospital. It took a long time, hard work and lots of determination to exercise his way back to normality. Now in his fifties he still plays golf and football - also coaching young people. Shaking hands when very tired is the only indication left of this dreadful syndrome.

Just discovered your channel and loved it. Wow, so good with what you deliver and how you do it.

I wanted to learn more after recently hearing that some doctors believe Franklin Delano Roosevelt had Guillain Barre Syndrome instead of Polio as originally believed.

Bedankt Tom was heel duidelijk. 86 jaar en 5 jaar met rest verschijnselen.

This is more than spooky how KZfaq recommend this to me when I just had a patient few days ago with suspected GBS. Though didn’t know much about this condition, guess someone wants me to learn more about it 👩🏾‍💻📝

Here after anuj pachel video

Who’s here after hearing about FDA’s possible announcement about J&J relation to GBS?

I have had GBS and had 2 neurologists and both did none of the treatments you describe. In fact I was not given any medication. Nor did it start in the lower legs. It started with severe back pain that eventually made my whole body go numb. I was on a walker for 3 months again the specialists said I would need it for over a year. My immune system was strong and I got full recovery with not any form of medication at all

Thank u soo much.. a short video with all of the important informations present ❤❤

My mom had this. She was in hospital for a long time. They had her on a blood machine. Then she went into rehab. Made a full recovery. But then had heart attacks and cancer and died. 😢 I miss her so much.

I got GBS in 1997. Still can’t walk without elbow crutches and have no balance. It really has destroyed my life as I knew it. If you get it bad it has unbelievable effects on your body.

I really love the way and the organization of the presentation of the topic very well done and THANK YOU! ❤❤

I was diagnosed with Guillian Barre in 2004. I was first told that maybe my pants were too tight when I went to the ER because I couldn't walk... 3 days later I was almost completely paralyzed and progressed to my throat.. and inability to swallow. 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.

Our 29 year old son has been dealing with this since 8/2021. It's been 8 months now and he still can't walk and can barely use his hands. 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'm just praying he will get back some resemblance of his life before.

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 m a gullian barre sydrone patient in 22nd 2016 i collasped now 5 years i still no balance bad foot drop claw fingers Pls pray for me i want to normal

Guillain-Barré Syndrome happened to me when I couldn't stand up for all of a sudden, i tried to get up but no matter what I couldn't get up, I can't remember anything after but my mom helping me get up, after a while we've gotten to the hospital and after a while I was moved to a new hospital, My dad was always with me and my sibling and mom were at home, I didn't know what was going on when I was going to the hospital. It was so scary. Luckly I was treated and I have been good ever since I've left the hospital.

Thanks for this video. I like the way you spoke gently and clearly, easy to understand what you said. I've never heard of GBS until today, I read an article that said some people in the UK, Australia and India got GBS after taking the vaxx, so I searched for what kind of disease it is, and the symptoms. Well done.

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?

My son was diagnosed with this a month ago, has severe nerve damage was in full paralysis but can now move his head and face, slight shoulder movement and can get a foot to wiggle every now and then, it happened so quick we took him to the ER they sent him home with antibiotics saying he had strep and stomach virus, 2 hours later we drove him to childrens hospital and by the time we made it there he could not stand and had to be put on a vent immediately!!!! It’s scary because of how fast this happened, went from walking that morning to not being able to stand or breathe that night and then after being in the ICU his body went into full paralysis…I pray more info comes out for this and more awareness because I had never heard of GBS until he had gotten it, it still seams surreal because it happened so quick and you never think it will be your kid, we’ve been in the ICU for a month now still on the vent with some small improvements, they’re wanting to put a trach in so they can get him out of the ICU to the physical therapy floor to work with him, I hope no one has to ever go through this with a child or loved one and if you are goin through this I pray for you and just know you’re not alone ❤

I had GBS in 1997 and fully recovered but had weakness and pain for several years, particularly after stress or tired. I found that i needed extra rest to cope and recover. I avoid most inoculations but recently had the Moderna jab for COVID. Although GBS is not common, I have known 4 people who had it, one of whom is still paralyzed after 25 years.

I had it when I was 21. One of the lucky ones, it didn't shut down my heart a s lungs.. I was told not to have flu vaccines as I could have a relapse.. I've never had a flu vaccine in my life and for that matter, I couldn't tell you when I've had the flu.. Meanwhile I've been told by many they get the flu shot but end up getting the flu... lol 🤔🤔

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

i contracted GBS in 1999 and became quadruplegic,i have partially recovered but now diagnosed as an incomplete quadruplegic but still hete after 23 years aged 71, i was given a process called plasmapharesis several times a week to seperate the white blood cells from the red then replace white cells with plasma, its not fun, wishing all with this disease the very best

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.

Love your videos and teaching style. Please keep up your wonderful work. Thank you

My wife is a pediatric PT who treated a few patients with Guillain-Barré years ago. She is currently admitted to a hospital and suspected of having Guillain-Barré. Hopefully she will be getting treatments like IVIG soon.

I am a 22 year old survivor of this it was many dark days fr !

The way they explain is appreciate

Really beautiful. Thank you 🙏🏼 Take care everyone ☮️

so this is an autoimmune condition of a sorts where the antibodies produced against and invader start attacking health nervous tissue, too.

I had this, this year, after campylobacter and dysentery which also caused critically low phosphate. My speech is still affected when I’m tired. I get tired a lot. I still braved a trip to India (thanks to the pandemic my marriage was cancelled repeatedly for 1.5 years so I had to go there to marry my fiancé or we’d have prolonged our separation) … it would have cost more for him to come to the U.K. for us to marry … and then I caught another stomach infection in India - but I’ve been ok. 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. It’s extremely unfair what we have to keep going through. Such a battle.

I was diagnosed with small bowel cancer last year .I am on chemotherapy after having half my bowel removed .The chemo can cause similar symptoms to GB .I have numbness in my toes and fingers they are so weak i cannot open any packaging or do up buttons or press studs on clothing etc .Even cant get the cream out of the tube the McMillan nurses gave me to use on my feet and toes .I was told to take Vit B6 perodoxine hydrochloride .

There are actually 5 versions and one starts from the head down.

Very informative for lay person like me. Thanks

Thank you, was so easy to understand and compare to the treatment we give our patients on wards.

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

I had GBS in early 2018 and boy was it fun! All as you described, including the facial weakness which I have not fully recovered from. The best part was the tingling toes and fingers and me wishing it was nothing serious. Oh, and the "spinal tap" which freaked me out. All caused by... not what listed here.. but RSV.... a virus that mostly effects children and 42 year old men name Gary.

This was an amazing concised explanation 😇

Doctors in Germany could not diagnose me till now and im researching desperately to find such a correct video. I don’t know if Covid vaccines could have caused this issue or not

I had Guillain Barre Syndrome in 1985. Return home from 1st semester of college, recognizing extreme weakness in my legs. Not much was known then about GBS. Spent one night in the hospital and sent home. By the grace of God and an my family taking care of me, I recovered. It's an ordeal I would not like to go back through. I pray for all who are experiencing GBS.

I contracted this 4 years ago. I went from being able to walk normally to unable to walk at all in 5 days. Very scary. Fortunately, my local doctor worked it out after 2 other docs couldn't. He got me to hospital rapido the next day. I was able to walk again after 3 weeks and have made a full recovery, as it was mild atypical, but scary enough at that!

Molecular mimicry, B cells Create Antibodies against the existing pathogen Same antibioies match proteins on the Nerve cells Target protein cells on the Myelin sheath (motor nerve or on the nerve axon itself) this targeting of the nerve cells creates the neuropathy

I am right now at the hospital and I have all the symptoms for 5days now. The doctors still have not confirmed the diagnosis since my bone marrow test was fine, also I can walk and my weakness is not that bad. But I still feel numbness in my limbs and I’m so scared reading these comments 😢😢😢

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

It killed my sister. Total paralysis, took five years to die with a breathing tube in the throat flat on her back.

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

Thank you for this. It was very easy to understand.

My husband had this due to dengue. Luckily I noticed the signs right away (because I had a client who had this and learned from her). Signs were slowly losing strength/ grip on hands then arms then legs. He started limping. I told him to check himself to the hospital and the Doctor knew it right away. 24H after he was in ICU, the dengue rash showed up. The whole ordeal happened in just two weeks.

I had it about 2 weeks ago, also tested positive for covid but showed no significant symptoms for it... pretty much 70/80% paralysed on my left side!! I was given a transfusion of human normal immunoglobulin for 5 days (sick every time) but they caught it early and about a week later was back to my old self 👍

Thank you!

I had it in 1979 at the age of 27. Never received any sort of IV. Put my mom through hell one night when I came close to needing respiratory aid...but thankfully it wasn't necessary and started my slow recovery process. I did have a full facial paralysis that recovered. All in all it was an experience I don't wish on anyone.

Excellent video, thank you so much! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

thank you so much for this video! Very helpful for helping my refreshing.

Yes, it is a vaccine adverse reaction.

I developed Guillain-Barre after a mmr vaccine. I was told if I didn't get it,I wouldn't be put on the schedule. I Received the Vax March 23 March 24th I was swollen with aches and pain. I'm ferious!

So the prognosis of full recovery is 80%? In school we were told it is 90%. Maybe our material isn't updated. Great video, thanks!

It can move much faster than he gives the impression here. I saw 53 cases in1994. Water transmission. Everything depends on correct diagnosis, very quickly, you present light cold symptoms on waking, go to work, feel like heavy flu at midday, in bed you become remote and distant and complain of lack of sensation in feet, legs, hips, laboured breathing. If not in ICU by about five pm same day, they can't bring you back, palliative care till you die before midnight, same day. ICU care is higher standard than Covid19. Famous rugby player survived for a couple of years before dying. Everyone was in the outpatients of the same hospital on the same day 6 weeks earlier, all came down on same day, new airconditioning blasted damp air toward outpatients. No inpatients or nurses affected. This can move very quickly; most Western countries couldn't cope with a large outbreak. Covid is a "weak" virus.
