Hi my name is Brenda and was diagnosed with gbs on Oct 12 2007 and was upgraded to CIDP on may 5 2008, I found this site looking for info on these syndromes, and its great to know I’m not alone

I also have the problems with my eyes. GP is sending me to the ophthalmologist tomorrow. He said they may be able to help with my double vision. That they make glasses for stroke victims that corrects the double vision. And it might help me until my eyes repair themselves. Has anyone tried this, or heard any thing about it?

I was diagnosed with GBS in May 2006. I was in the hospital for about 2 1/2 weeks then in rehab for about 2 weeks where I had to relearn how to walk, dress myself and such. This has been the most difficult time in my life. I was wondering how does everyone else deal with this? I feel so tired all the time. Any ideas on how to help me get out of this funk I feel like Im in….:o
