and how many others got G-B syndrome from *any* immunizations? in 30 plus

years, I worked with maybe a dozen G-B survivors, and only had cause to

make the diagnosis *once.* To the best of my remembrance, none of those cases

were related to immunizations- the 16 year old with an odd ascending

paralysis (sent to a neurologist, and we made the diagnosis of G-B syndrome

together) was afflicted in the spring, well after her last set of booster shots

for school, and while she had suffered from mild upper respiratory symptoms

a week or so prior, she had not had classic flu symptoms prior to the

paralysis.

Not saying that your case was not associated with an immunization, just

that G-B itself is rare in any case.

interesting. When and where was this? and do you know if the hospital or

neurology group reported the cluster to the CDC?

Don't know how true that is but I can tell you there where 2 others in

the icu with me post vaccination with GBS. Needless to say I can not

get a flu shot.

[Guest guest]

ok, that's five cases just on this list. , do you know if your case

was reported?

That is exactly why I do not get any flu shots. I contracted GBS in 2003,

and on a ventilator for 10 days post a yearly vacination. I will never get

another one.

That is why I was wondering if there was any hard evidence to support that

fact. Even one case is to many, in my opinion.
