Reply To: Are these symptoms related to GBS diagnosis?

What you describe is almost identical to my experience with Miller-Fisher Syndrone. The right side of my face was numb and paralyzed. I couldn’t close my right eye or smile from the right side of my mouth. I had problems chewing because part of my mouth wouldn’t work right. My speech became slurred. My vision was blurred too.

MFS is a variant often associated with GBS. You can learn more about it in the frorums here: http://www.gbs-cidp.org/forum/miller-fisher-variants

In my case, the combination of Prednisone and GBS/MFS required surgery to remove cataracts and restore my vision loss. The biggest improvement for my MFS came after having Plasma Pheresis treatments.
