Hello, My Dr. & I are pretty certain my strong immune response caused it. Never had a problem before the fever after the 2nd Pfizer Vac. Lived with pain & stiffness for 3 months. Prednisone helping 80% at 20mg. One thing I can’t get out of my head is that my Mother developed Gullain Barre after getting a flu in 1963. Paralyzed & trached for a cpl months. May be a genetic link?

This is certainly worth mentioning to your doc, who may choose to report to VAERS.

I had a yearly checkup with my family doctor this morning and asked him about having the vaccine. He highly advised not to have it as there have not been enough trials with Guillain-Barre. If you had a very light case of GBS it's probably okay however I had a serious case.
