  • Able to communicate verbally and fluent in English, Spanish or French
  • We are seeking a broad range of insights on individuals living with GBS and their care
  • Participants should not be diagnosed with CIDP (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy), to their knowledge
  • Participants should have had a Gullain-Barré syndrome disability scale score of 3 or greater at the time of hospital admission – we do not expect all individuals to know their score. Therefore, as a proxy for this measurement, participants are required to have been previously hospitalized for their condition. Their level of mobility at the time of hospital admission should align with a score of 3 or greater on the chart below. Care partners should have experience with an individual with GBS who has been hospitalized.

I was diagnosed with GBS in 1985, I was completely paralyzed except for my trunk, I was wheel chair and bed bound two years. I could not feed or bath my self, I had severe depression, I was on massive doses of prednisone I gained 100 lbs. from the steroids. I now suffer residual effects from GBS, upper arm strength none, upper thigh strength none, I suffer now with RA, Sjögren's syndrome and Fibromyalgia.  Autoimmune disease is horrible, it's robbed me of everything
