Understanding Guillain-Barré syndrome: Causes and symptoms of this rare nerve disorder
Guillain-Barré Syndrome, or GBS, is a rare neurological condition. The body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own nerves. This can lead to rapid muscle weakness and paralysis. Early symptoms often start with tingling in the hands and feet. Most individuals recover fully with prompt medical attention and time. Doctors diagnose GBS through medical history, symptoms, and specific tests.
