I had GBS in February, and to this date I’m dealing with residua (tingling and pain in the feet, random shots of tiredness, lack of/reduced sensibility etc.), though it’s finally wearing off. I have a few unconfirmed suspicions on my own, but what I can guarantee were triggers for me were:
– hunger;
– heat variations: normally, pain and tingling occurred when I was at rest and under higher temperatures (26+°C);
– obstructed blood flow, specially during sleep, but also when seated for some time;
– vitamin D and/or protein deficiency.I’ll post more details in a post of my own, but I hope these can be of help.
July 27, 2014 at 3:55 amHi Matt,
progression seems to be widely variable: some people start feeling weak in the morning and are under the breather by night, others may never reach that point. I, for one, was never paralyzed, though my motion was seriously compromised after a long, hot bath, around a week after the supposed trigger (a sinusitis crisis, apparently).I had progressive pains throughout 3 weeks and difficult breathing from the 2nd to 3rd week, but nothing past that. In any case, medical procedures usually include preventive hospitalization and I think it’s a good idea to have someone always by her, in case things worsen. I recently knew of a woman in my city that was apparently recovering, then went home for the weekend and had a breathing paralysis while there were no one near. I wouldn’t want to take the risk.
As for your other questions, I guess others can help better, as I was a lucky case.
