Hi, never said I think my husband has GB. He has had Idiopathic PN for 23 or so years. He did have a fever of unknown origin 33 years ago and was put in Isolation for one week in the hospital. The reason I originally posted was not that I think he has GB but since his mom had GB and his sister had been diagnosed with neuropathy I thought that perhaps there was a common virus or pathogen or toxin that they all might have been exposed to.
Oddly, his sister just phoned me in response to my query. She said "All I know is that we have a relative in Chicago who had MS but she is no longer living. That's all the info she could give me.
Oh well, it was a thought.
Thanks anyway
