There are excellent neuropathy centers with lots of experience in GBS.
The Neuropathy Association (neuropathy.org) lists resources and doctors, and The Peripheral Neuropathy Support Network (neuropathysupportnetwork.org is a web based support service that tries to provide advice and resources. In addition the GBS/CIDP Foundation International (http://www.gbs-cidp.org) lists centers of excellence. Even though GBS is a rare illness, there is help! If you contact neuropathysupportnetwork.org and send in a question tell Gene Richardson (who runs it) that Dr. Berman (me) told you to write--I am on his Board and Gene often sends out emails collecting information to help specific people. We are a nonprofit and our resources are free. Hang in there!--Scott

Thank you, Dr. Berman for pointing me towards help and hope again. I will definitely write to him. God Bless you & have a wonderful weekend. Pat

Good luck Pat and I hope to hear that you were able to find some help!--Scott

Thank you for the reply. I have suffered from an illness my whole life. Now I have been diagnosed with a neurological pathology, and have relief from a constant suffering.

Hi, the link neuropathysupportnetwork.org isn't opening. I too have had gbs for 7 yrs and am frustrated with c Cleveland clinic saying it isn't gbs...that mayo clinic is a bunch of "hooey!" Looking for help too. Have started to walk again but.. swimming over 3,000 yards 4-5 /wk. Any suggestions?
