GBS is fast onset, and accompanies a viral illness or vaccine exposure.

Not always has a rash though.

GBS can also follow from food poisoning from uncooked chicken infected with Campylobacter bacteria.

A neighbor of mine developed GBS following chemo for breast cancer treatment. She had a spring virus, and within days couldn't walk. It did spare her breathing however. She had plasmapharesis treatments to remove the offending immune peptides from her blood.

So if you develop any breathing problems, seek medical attention ASAP.
