Welcome to NeuroTalk:
In this country GBS is typically diagnosed as a form of neuropathy. It is a fast progressing thing, that involves motor function as well as sensory. It is now treated aggressively with IVIG. It can follow a viral infection or vaccine. But is considered a severe allergic response to something.
Polyneuropathies can be just sensory (numbness/tingling) or mixed with some motor (movement problems).
Severe demyelination shows up on some nerve testing whereas only sensory types don't show changes in conduction that dramatically if at all.
Average neuropathies can come from many causes, usually something in the environment (toxins, drugs, vaccines) or metabolic (hypothyroid and diabetes), or genetic running in families called CMT, or nutritional (low B12 levels or other nutrient deficiencies).
We have alot of information gathered about testing, using nutrients, and other treatments here at our PN forum:
