What is Guillain-Barre Syndrome: From Diagnosis to Recovery (American Academy of Neurology Press Quality of Life Guides) about?

Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. Feelings of tingling and weakness increase in intensity until the muscles cannot be used at all and the patient is almost totally paralyzed. No one knows why Guillain-Barre strikes some people and not others, or what sets the disease in motion. What we do know is that GBS is now the most common cause of acute paralysis in Western countries since the virtual elimination of poliomyelitis with vaccination programs.__Guillain-Barre Syndrome__, co-authored by a survivor of this illness, addresses all aspects of this condition, including initial symptoms, diagnostic evaluation and criteria, general and illness specific treatments, and typical outcomes. Fortunately, most GBS patients have a good recovery, but the pathway to this goal can be slow and scary. This book covers a wide range of issues including: * Features unique to GBS such as pain without injury and other abnormal sensations * Workplace adjustment with incomplete recovery * Intensive care unit management * Practical caregivers guidelines * The rehabilitation process * Sexual dysfunction, and much more _
