Thanks janieg that did help calm me down a bit - apparently it's pretty common and doesn't mean much on its own.

The last 2 nights I'm getting woken up in the middle of the night by a fast pulse. I read some other forums that said CIPD / GBS can mess with your heart. And I started to notice I'm loosing some coordination in my left leg / foot this weekend.

I'm still thinking it's likely to be CIPD / GBS. But even with my new symptoms I can't get my neurologist appt moved up from Thursday. I tried calling 6 other nearby neurology departments this morning to get in sooner and they all said F U.

So I likely have this treatable condition and there are a bunch of hospitals around that can treat it. I just can't figure out how to get in and make it happen. And in the mean time I'm just sitting around speculating about how much permanent damage is happening to my nerves. Maybe I can stop being depressed and think of something after a nap. If anyone sees this and has a bright idea let me know.
