Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS)

Please read and agree to the disclaimer before watching this video.
. Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS)
GBS is a rapidly progressive, acute demyelinating disorder affecting motor axons leading to ascending weakness. This weakness may lead to a patient's inability to use respiratory muscles. Loss of respiratory muscle control can in turn lead to death. Let's look at the pathophysiology of this disease.

    Very good information! I was hospitalized for Guillain-Barre Syndrome in 1994. My doctor explained that it was similar to MS but I would get better. I received IVIG treatment and was in hospital for only one week. In NICU 4 days and was almost put on a ventilator. It took years to recover and it was not 100 percent. Thankfully a great doctor and early diagnosis. I received a letter from my doctor to never take a flu shot. My current physician informed me that I should NOT take CoVid vaccine.

    1994 was the year I presented to my Primary Care provider and MS was more suspected than GBS, and I was referred to neurology. MRI's showed lesions in an unusual area, lumbar puncture had no myelin. I was not savvy for what happened ... the neurologist shrugged shoulders and dismissed me. I believe she realized it was GBS and I had just taken a vaccine for college, and didnt want to get involved in vaccine adverse event. I was helped by doing IgG food allergy testing via an MD who left mainstream, and eliminating 3 foods, but I never got back to the level I was at before and have had ups and downs of wellness since. Most recently from C*V 19. I didnt think of GBS until 2008 when I saw a college friend who had GBS and said first symptom was total inability on ice skates suddenly. I'd taken 3 people who had never skated to the lake I grew up on and they were better than I was. I thought at the time it had to do with 2 years of rollerblading and no ice. So that 2008 conversation was an aha for me. I then became a follower of James Lyons-Weber from the KZread in 2018 of the Ohio Advocates for Medical Freedom conference where he presented on a man's case to tease out if it was GBS or ALS he unfortunately died from after getting a required flu shot. One year before retirement from nursing no less. I was going into health care as well when I got the vaccine for mumps so I wouldnt be kept from attending if a case presented anywhere in the campus population. All I could think of was the cost of an additional year not working and going to school if anyone had mumps and my unfortunate decision was way more costly.

    My paternal grandmother died of GBS in 1958, before they ever understood a lot about it, apparently, after not getting treated promptly for strep throat, I was told. Heard about the horror of her dying within a weeks time, as her fingers and toes became paralyzed, and it eventually spread to her breathing, rendering the iron lung used at the time, useless. The thought of having that happen because of a vaccine is terrifying, whether its more treatable now or not. She was perfectly healthy prior to getting sick, and was only in her 50s

    Excellent presentation, GBS can kill. The tingling was unbearable to my wife, she was completely paralyzed in her legs. My wife was stricken with GBS last November after a flu shot. The EAU has admitted it is a possible side effect of the covid vaccines. My wife's neurologist told her not to get the vaccine. My wife's neurologist said that a virus is observed by the protective cells that go haywire and attack the sheaths of the nerves. She was paralyzed but after given IVIG in the hospital 3 times her neve sheaths were able to heal slowly and now 8 months later she is walking better each day. I saw her collapse to the floor in front of me. Thank you Dr Been for telling this story, it is considered a rare disease but it is less rare than the medical field knows. Many medicines have GBS as a "possible" side effect, Including covid vaccines. Just o you understand, I am not anti vaccines, in the Army I can't recall how many I was given.

    Excellent presentation! Thank you. Very informative! As a Guillain-Barre survivor, I would like people to know that pain is often under-stated or over-looked in the textbooks. The pain is relentlessly ferocious, persistent and often unbearable (24/7). Medications are unable to 'touch' this widespread nerve pain. Barometric pressure even has an effect on the pain. Cranial nerve involvement often occurs. Some have brain lesions. Brain fog is a symptom that often persists for some time. Many with GBS onset receive a late diagnosis due to MDs turning them away from offices and emergency rooms, whereas the individual often sees many doctors and receives a late diagnosis. Delayed IVIG treatment (most common) often induces irreversible nerve damage. Published literature correlates numerous other factors that trigger GBS such as trauma, surgery, spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage or traumatic brain injury, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, chemotherapy, various vaccinations, and reactivation of latent viruses. Many of us have unknown etiology. Positive attitude, exercise/PT and strength/endurance are medicine. Recovery can be accessed at 2-5 years. Incomplete recovery is common. Types and variants: AIDP - Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (most common); AMSAN - Acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy; AMAN - Acute motor axonal neuropathy; MFS - Miller-Fisher syndrome.

Having a lumbar puncture following this time period may not show definitive results of GBS diagnosis. I have not seen evidence. Possibly join some of the FB GBS groups to learn from others.
