Hi, I live in Northern California and my dad was diagnosed with GBS just three weeks ago. We were on vacation when it hit and the small hospital that we took him to insisted that it was a stroke (now, we know otherwise). We are now at week three and he has had one round of IVIG. He’s not getting better at this point and we can now barely understand him when he talks. He was staying at a rehab facility and they just did not understand this syndrome. Since he has been deteriorating, He is now at Stanford and they might do a second round of IVIG. When does it start to get better? Are there rehab facilities that know how to help patients with this?

Tell me that it gets better from this!
