    Is this the first time you have ever experienced this before? Have you had a vaccine or infection recently?

    I had something happen to me back in June that started as pain and numbness in my little toe and continued up my body causing extreme muscle weakness. They think that I had mild Guillain Barre after ruling out other disorders. What does the pain feel like? Are you having any weird muscle twitches or nerve firing in your calves?

      The pain is really bad and getting worse like a burning pain. Having a lot of weird muscle twitches have been since i woke up.

      You said you were paralysed from the waist down I am numb from the waist down but can still walk but a bit wobbly at times also very very constipated think this is all due to having back problems I've been like this now for 20 months and still no answers how long ago did u get this and are to still like it??

    Try not to get too scared about it because that complicates things (easier said than done, I know) but you should get this checked out soon. GBS is rare too but can also be very serious in some cases needing treatment in the hospital early on but recovery is pretty good in most all of the cases from mild to the most serious.

      Good luck to you! Hope you get better soon! Nerves can regenerate which is good but I can definitely relate to that burning pain. Had it for awhile with this but thru PT and time I have made great recovery. Worse part is not knowing. Keep up the great attitude!
