[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 61386, member: 1991"] Thanks for the update, Linda. The short time-course would fit the GBS. I had hoped the arteritis would be negative, with the biopsy negative (I thought). The GBS and the rheumatoid alone could account for the high ESR. If the paralysis is related to the GBS, you should get a lot, most if not all back. But it could take another month before you start to see much improvement. It depends on what stage it is at. Did anyone suggest plasmaphoresis to you? I'm a bit out of touch, maybe they don't do it as much anymore. They do have to begin it fairly soon after onset, too, for maximum benefit. What you describe does fit auto-immune as well as inflammatory. You need to take things carefully and slowly so your body isn't so reactive. Be gentle with yourself. Marg [/QUOTE]
