Spotlight: Guillain-Barre
Guillain-Barre syndrome is a disorder that causes your immune system to attack your peripheral nervous system. This is a rare disorder affecting 1 to 2 in every 100,000 people per year in the United States. It is characterized by progressive numbness and weakness in the extremities and can lead to total body paralysis which is life threatening and becomes a medical emergency. Recovery can take months to years yet there is no cure for the disorder. Plasmapheresis and Intravenous immunoglobulin are used to help speed recovery and lessen symptoms. Also, there is a large amount of constant pain in the muscles therefore pain management is important.
