The GBS started at my feet and stopped at my belly button. I was released from the hospital 25 days later. I am in the recovery phase, thank God. My Neurologist thinks my recovery will take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Frequency is about 1 to 2 cases in 100,000 population each year.
Diagnosis can be difficult in the syndrome's early stages.
The disorder is not contagious. Rehabilitation is the major form of treatment. Recovery may occur over 6 months to 2 years or longer. For support, information, questions or comments, send Email to gbs.org Please read the disclaimer and copying information.
