What is Guillain-Barre syndrome?
Your immune system assaults your peripheral nerves in GBS, a rare autoimmune disease that causes symptoms including numbness, tingling, and muscular weakness that eventually lead to paralysis or even death. The disorder arises when your peripheral nerves are attacked by an aberrant immune response. Although GBS may develop at any age, experts say that those in their 30s to 50s are most likely to have it. Your peripheral nerves, which regulate touch, temperature, and muscular movement, are impacted by Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Signs and symptoms of GBS
Guillain-Barré syndrome's first symptoms include:
Weakness in muscles
Feelings of tingling, particularly in your legs and feet
severe back and/or leg muscle soreness
Your arms, legs, and face muscles are paralyzed.
Weakness in the chest muscles that makes breathing difficult
Speaking and swallowing difficulties
Having trouble moving your eyes and visual problems
Experts say that GBS symptoms can develop over a few days, weeks, or even hours. Within the first two weeks following the onset of symptoms, the majority of persons have the most severe stage of weakness. Approximately 90% of people are at their weakest by the third week.
