GBS is almost always a one-time event. If symptoms return a few years following onset, it is probably the chronic form of the syndrome: CIDP.
Diagnosis should now be that for CIDP. NCS/NVS is only one of the diagnostic tests available. Please see the following booklet for an overview of the conditions and the tests involved in confirming its presence:

If CIDP is indicated, perhaps the first treatment sought should be Plasma Exchange, followed by IVIg.
