JulieJayne,

Thanks for the detailed response. My neurologist thought for sure I had mild guillain barre so he prescribed neurontin for the pain. However, I was told to only take it before bed, so I can't say whether or not it helps. I was told it can take up to a month for it to take affect as well, and I've only been on it a little over a week.

With the normal EMG/NCS, the doctor no longer believes it was GBS. I am wondering though if my damage was not severe enough to register outside of normal parameters on the nerve conduction. After the test, the nurse called and said he changed his diagnosis to post-viral, but GBS is considered a post viral infection.

I think the neurontin gives me pretty bade side effects, but I am going to give it more time.

I am concerned about the throat symptoms as when I was diagnosed with the sinus infection, I did not have a sore throat, just tightness. Do MG symptoms disappear for weeks at a time? I had throat symptoms first, they went away, and now I am noticing them four weeks later. I know that this could also be stress related due to just not knowing what is wrong.
