Dear Tammy:
If your daughter is getting any worse, even incrementally, then her immune system is still attacking her nerves. If she isn’t getting any worse then the acute stage of GBS may be over and IVIG won’t do anything for her. The acute stage usually doesn’t last more than 21 days, but there are exceptions.
One other thing, often times, the difference between a severe and a mild case of GBS is in how long it goes untreated.
