pins & needles

hi karen. i am 5 years post gbs and still have pins & needles. i’m asleep from the nose down and left hand and both knees were left partially paralyzed. so in answer to your question, yes, it’s normal for pins and needles and weakness in the knees. i walk with a cane and use a wheelchair for long distances. i’ve learned to live with it and i have adapted my life very well to it. that DOES NOT mean that your mother will be left with this. i was not properly diagnosed at first, so i didn’t get the proper treatment until quite a bit of time had passed. i know you’ll be reading this to your mother, so; (mom, don’t get discouraged. keep fighting, have a positive attitude and you WILL slowly improve). so karen, i hope this was a little helpful to you and your mother. you’re both in my prayers.
