I'm my experience the worst part was the pain! Yes I was paralysed but the pain was intense! My lungs thankfully didn't collapse but was very close. I would get rid of the pain. I hated not being able to move my body but any slight touch it's felt like there was a knife sticking in my body

During the onset paralysis for 2 months was worst part. Not being able to communicate until off the ventilator which was 6 weeks. Now 8 years out worst residual symptoms are neuropathy in feet.

Being helpless and paralyzed I think were the worst. Fear would be the next. Would love to be able to walk again but learning to except the blessings God has given me

The worst symptom is paralysis. Next are breathing troubles, problems with walking and talking, double-vision. Milder symptoms which often linger are neuropathy, fatigue and mood swings.

In my case, the worst initial GBS symptoms during onset were severe, for me off-the-chart, unmanageable low-back pain, accompanied by an onset of ascending paralysis (numbness) starting in the feet, & gradual numbness that ascends towards the knees. Unchecked, the numbness may continue to the point of affecting chest muscles & the ability to breathe, potentially leading to respiratory failure. Timely diagnosis & treatment are key to trying to stop the progressive paralysis before it reaches a life-threatening stage.

Numbing pain of areas that are paralyzed.

Posted Oct 1, 2017 by John 2070

The worst is the constant pain in my legs which without pain relief would be almost unbearable. Not everyone suffers from this, the condition affects people in many different ways! Another symptom is weakness in my legs that means I can only walk slowly.

Breathing problems, paralysis

Posted Oct 28, 2017 by Holly 1400

Onset symptoms were numb feet, followed by tingly/numb hands and an ascending mostly symmetric paralysis. Since the illness is self-resolving, the paralysis reverses itself but lingering issues like tingling and numbness in the outer extremities remain in my case, 7 months after.

What symptoms are most limiting in the life of a person with Guillain-Barre Syndrome?

I had GBS. My new diagnosis after GBS is now C.I.D.P.
Having limited or no use of arms, hands, legs or feet.

If you could get rid of some symptoms, which ones would be the first?

I have had a lot of healing. I have numbness (neuropathy) in my feet and toes.

You can also add milder symptoms in their place.

Progressive numbness that's starts in your hands and feet over a very short period of a few days. The numbness is equal to both sides of your body. My legs started to become weak and couldn't hold my weight when I sat down and I just dropped. My hands stated to work in what could be described as slow motion. This progressed until I couldnt move my limbs or torso and resulted in loss of swolowing reflex
