Speaker Series: An Election Year Guide for the GBS|CIDP Community
The US election year can bring up many questions for the patient community and their loved ones, and the Foundation is here to help! Join us for a conversation with our Washington Representative from Health and Medicine Counsel as we talk about what it means for a U.S. Congress to switch, how an election changes our advocacy strategy and things to watch during the election. We will do our best to answer questions during this event, but are anticipating many questions and may not get to address all of them. A reminder that the Foundation maintains a non-partisan position to advance its most important policy asks of the government.

Now A neurologist just told me that I really had GBS. I knew this all along too and they originally said that when i got to the hospital. I had unnecessary spinal fusion surgery

    I was diagnosed with CIDP by my neurologist. I’ve had 15 IVIG treatments with no improvement. Got a late start 1 1/2 years due to neck and back surgery. They thought that was my problem. But it wasn’t. My condition seems to get worse after IVIG treatment every 2 weeks. Getting PT 3 days a week. Stuck in recliner can’t walk no balance loosing voice no strength very weak. Feeling helpless. What do I do. Dr said give it time.

    I too have GBS. however I am a lucky one, GOD put a doctor at the emergency entrance door. He asked me to describe how I was feeling and when I said I had no feeling in my legs, feet, arms and hands, he immediately said it sounds like GBS to me. They immediately started me on intravenous treatment of ivig. I thank GOD every day for putting that doctor there. I believe he saved my life as I am almost completely healed (still some weakness in my legs), but I was home from the hospital after only 3 days.

    One "adaptive device" I've used for failing grip strength is a channellock adjustable wrench from my toolbox. Good for bottle caps, packets of deli meat, zips, short/broken pull cords... G-clamps and vises are useful too - able-bodied workers are not superman; everyone needs a hoist or fork-lift at some point. No need to be ashamed of not lifting 500lbs, or 5.

    I was diagnosed with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy in the year 2000. I've been treated solely with gabapentin, which works well for the pain. But in the last few months, I've noticed that doors are harder to open, and items I pick up seem heavier, even a can of coke. I went to a new neurologist as a result of a move from my previous city, and he did a nerve conduction study as a matter of routine for a new patient. The results of the study, along with my clinical symptoms, led him to diagnose CIDP. I'm scheduled to start infusion therapy soon. Since my nerves have been experiencing damage for 24 years, I don't know whether I will improve or not. I was used to the pain, but getting used to being weak would be another thing.

    I was diagnosed with CIDP back in 2007. Ive learned a lot since then and am living an almost normal life again. A few tips to help anyone dealing with this disease: A keto style diet works best for me. Lots of organic healthy meats, veggies and fruits. I tried a vegan diet but it made it worse. A diet of good fatty meats, eggs and avocados is good because it helps to regrow the myelin sheets that was stripped off the nerve endings by the immune system. Cut out all processed food especially sweet foods. Sugar is your number one enemy. It’s best to avoid all forms of sugar even stevia etc. you may can get away with a “little” manuka honey. Avoid smoking and drinking any alcohol, including wine. Exercise as much as possible and lift heavy weights (at least what is heavy to you). This will keep you stronger than the disease itself. Workout your entire body especially legs and arms. This is how I regained my balance. Get plenty of rest. When showering. Switch from hot to cold to stimulate your nerves, ending your shower with cold. Get a vibrating foot massager to stimulate your nerve endings in your feet. By doing all of these things I am 90% back to normal without taking any steroids or ivig, haven’t been back to my neurologist in ten years after he told me I will be wheelchair bound if I stopped the treatment. I’m not advising you stop treatment I’m just saying that’s what I did. I didn’t abruptly stop, I slowly reduced the amount of steroids I was taking and weaned myself off of them as I was doing everything I wrote in the comment. The stronger I got the more I weaned myself off. Hope this helps someone

    This video didn't explain the causes so I will explain what I know at least. One cause is when your immune cells attack your nervous system. Killer-T's to be specific. Say an unwanted guest like epstein-barr managed to make it into your peripheral nerves. Your immune cells would detect this disease and try to fight it. But they wouldn't just attack the pathogen, but everything else. Hence the damage to neurons. Sometimes your immune system is just stupid and attack with no notable cause. But mostly viruses and bacteria. Either way the end result is horrific.
