I am a GBS patient, post onset 6+ years ago (trigger was a possible cold and childbirth-first GBS symptoms occurring during labor, a long story in itself) I had my third Radio frequency Ablation for heart arrhythmia (premature ventricular contractions) last week. I am feeling better, with no signs of PVCs now, but I was ok for 9 months after 1st surgery, then after multiple illnesses and stressors, I got them back in full force. So, I am thinking that my GBS affected my autonomic nervous system, and that I’m either dealing with residuals (including neuropathy of extremities, chronic bronchitis issues, etc.) or a chronic progressive neuropathy. Any other GBS/CIDP patients with similar issues? I am in the process of getting a second opinion (I went to neurologist at UF Gainesville 5 years ago) Any recommendations on neurologist and/or cardiologist with GBS experience would be greatly appreciated, especially if they are in Florida (I live in Orlando). Thanks and take care!

I also had GBS but no relapses (thankfully). My neurologist went to Jacksonville to work at the Cleveland Clinic there. I don’t know any neurologists who specialize in GBS here. My husband has a good neurologist who specializes in MS here in Orlando. You may want to look online & see if any say they specialize or work with GBS or pick one who works with the big hospitals here, such as Orlando Regional and Florida Hospital. Good luck. Roberta
