in this episode of Lais and The Coach we go over the story of when I got guillan barre syndrome and how it affected our life
Understanding Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP
In this video, we delve into two important neurological conditions: Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP).
**What is Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)?**
Guillain-Barré Syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves. It often begins with weakness and tingling in the legs, which can spread to the upper body. Symptoms can progress rapidly, leading to muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, and in severe cases, paralysis. GBS is typically triggered by an infection and can be life-threatening if it affects breathing muscles. However, with prompt medical treatment, most people recover fully or with minimal long-term effects.
**What is Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)?**
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy is a neurological disorder similar to GBS but with a chronic course. It involves the immune system attacking the myelin sheath of peripheral nerves, leading to prolonged weakness and sensory dysfunction. Unlike GBS, CIDP develops slowly and can last for months to years, often requiring long-term treatment. Early diagnosis and appropriate therapy are crucial to manage symptoms and prevent permanent nerve damage.
