Feet and hands

Dave,
I was diagonsed Aug ’05 and spent 9 weeks hospitalized. I still have tingling hands and feet; more so the feet. The feet feel like I’m walking on bunched up socks….I have learned to sort of ignore the sensation and get on with life.
Hope you can too. This is nothing compared to being on life support and totally paralized. I’ll pray for you.

Feet and hands

September 2, 2006 at 5:42 pm

Numbness and pins and needles plus burning sensations in my hands and feet are very annoying and pretty constant with me. Also my left foot swells up a lot by the end of the day. Because your extremities are affected the most by GBS I suppose this is pretty normal. Like everybody else I would love to have these sensations go away. Hopefully with enough time they will. Judging from various comments on this forum it takes some people a lot longer than others to recover. We all hope for the best.
