I know this is probably a shot in the dark, but are there any other survivors of Guillaine barre syndrome?

    My brother actually had it about 4 years ago and is fine now. I am sorry you had to go through that! It is not easy, to say the least. Will it have any affect on your pregnancy?

    It has been two years. It shouldn't have any affect. My back is really hurting today, so of course I automatically think the worse. Some doctors say you should avoid an epidural. Mine doesn't seem to think it will be a problem, but I'd rather not anyway.

    I've never posted on here before, but this thread caught my attention.  I had guillain-barre when I was four years old (before they used plasmapheresis for kids).  Spent a few weeks in the ICU but have fully recovered.  Other than not getting a flu shot, I haven't thought about it in relation to being pregnant - your post makes me wonder if I should?

    My ob doesn't seem to think there will be any complications.

    Thanks - I may ask about it at my next appointment as well, just to see.
