Hey everyone. This’ll be a long one, hoping to find people who can relate to this rare confusing condition. In 2021, 2 weeks after a vaccine I developed extreme leg pain and extemetity weakness. It got so bad at night I couldn’t sleep. I eventually went to the ER because of the pain and I couldn’t run/jump barely get out of bed. They ran a ton of blood tests and discharged me. I had a lot of positive inflammatory tests (ANA, sed rate, etc.) I’ve seen rheumatologists with no diagnosis but then saw a neurologist who ran an EMG which came back very abnormal in my motor nerves. It was clinical weird because I am fully active now except I will get flare ups of leg pain and body weakness but nothing how it was at the ER. I have GD1a antibodies which are linked to GBS. I declined the spinal tap because I am honestly reluctant to get it since I am clinically better. He believes I had a guillain barre type of reaction to the vaccine. I deal with mild leg pain most days. It feels like painful strings going down my legs. My balance and strength isn’t what it used to be but I try to workout and do yoga as much as I can since that helps me physically and mentally. I’m extremely active so this can be depressing to me but I am thankful it didn’t harm my body more. Would love to hear any input from others who have experiences guillain barre syndrome.

      I’m not sure if you can read my comments the I posted to another individual with GBS. Let me know if you can read those comments from me to him. I go by “Rollin”
