Guillain-Barre Syndrome Adverse Event from a flu shot for Patient. Enclosed you will find your form completed with HandOuts describing some of the questions. This syndrome has completely changed my husbands quality of life from a man who was very active, working in the yard, going to local games, attending church, visiting children and grandchildren and traveling and camping in the RV. Since this happened to him, he is unable to do very much at all except see doctors, do Physical Therapy, take medication throughout the day, and sleep a lot. Thank you in advance for wanting to know more about this syndrome and maybe there could be more explanation from doctors concerning this syndrome and recommending the flu shot or other vaccinations. If you need additional information and I can help in any way, please let me know. Patient is seen in return for GBS.
