Reply To: MY DAD HAS ACUTE GBS/NOT WAKING UP, IS NOT ON SEDATION MEDS

In extremely severe cases, a GBS patient can exhibit “locked-in syndrome,” in which he appears comatose yet has full awareness of his surroundings. Your neurologist should be aware of this possibility. Sometimes GBS patients can communicate only with their eyes, but even if he does not have this ability, you should not assume that he is unconscious.
