What is Guillain Barre Syndrome?

in dtube •  6 years ago 


A friend of mine was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome a few days ago. I didn’t know much about it other than the fact that is was a rare auto-immune disease, so I decided to thoroughly research the topic and share what I discovered.

QUICK SUMMARY
Guillain Barre Syndrome is an Autoimmune Disease where the body’s immune system attacks the myelin of its own neurons causing tingling, numbness and eventually paralysis of various parts of the body. It can lead to death in cases where paralysis effects the muscles controlling the lungs and heart, but most people recover over a period of several months and sometimes years.

From what I see, it is an uncommon disease, fortunately, because the symptoms are very annoying and apparently can endanger the life of the patient. Your friend should take great care to overcome that disease, Thanks for sharing and learning a little more about her.

Ya, it's not that uncommon. Awhile back the CDC had to admit that dozens of people had even died from the Guillain Barre the vaccine gave them.
