Feelings of tingling and weakness increase in intensity until the muscles cannot be used at all and the patient is almost totally paralysed. No one knows why Guillain-Barre strikes some people and not others, or what sets the disease in motion. What we do know is that GBS is now the most common cause of acute paralysis in Western countries since the virtual elimination of Poliomyelitis with vaccination programmes.Guillain-Barre Syndrome, co-authored by a survivor of this illness, addresses all aspects of this condition, including initial symptoms, diagnostic evaluation and criteria, general and illness specific treatments and typical outcomes. Fortunately, most GBS patients have a good recovery, but the pathway to this goal can be slow and scary.
