Well, it’s not only a question of getting GBS a second time. And, folks here have reported it happened to them.
It’s a question of getting GBS after surgery.
The internet is not much help on this subject. The NIH says, “[I]Occasionally, surgery or vaccinations will trigger the syndrome.[/I]
Well, people occasionally get struck by lighting, or injured in an automobile accident or flooded out in Fargo N.D.
For myself, I consider the chances extremely remote. For the one it happens to, that’s no consolation. I would not avoid surgery for that risk alone. Heck, you can undergo surgery and…… you fill in the blank!
