I have a friend/neighbor who had GBS about 20 yrs ago.
IVIG was not an option then.
So she was given plasmapharesis treatments. I remember steroids were offered but I can't recall now if she had them too.
Hers occurred following chemo for breast cancer.
She had a mild virus after the chemo and then the GBS came.
Took 3 days to reach ICU status. She was paralyzed with the exception of breathing.
I would be very cautious with vaccines from now on as well.
We used to have a member on our older board, named Luke, and he acquired GBS from the Swine Flu vaccine. Had a terrible time with it, but is okay now. He was very vocal about not getting vaccines.
