I think of myself as being in the control group – I am not on any pain medication or drugs (except my many vitamins) and did not get IVIG. YET just recently I noticed I am having short term memory loss. I shall be deep in thought, then POOF it is gone and I have no idea what it was. Spelling is also getting a little moire difficult and I am a teacher. My GBS started in September and peaked in October 2006. I wonder why it took this long for this to occur.I am thankful that this subject was brought up. I thought it was just me!! My explanation was perhaps it is my body protecting me from remembering this horrible experience.
