Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) Vaccine Attorney
Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) can be triggered by infections or immunizations. The influenza vaccination has been associated with an increased risk of GBS. Following a vaccination, an autoimmune response occurs which affects the peripheral nervous system. GBS can present with a variety of neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness. The myelin portion of the nerves is affected by the inflammation resulting in motor dysfunction.
GBS is considered a rare disease. Nevertheless, there are between 3,000 to 6,000 individuals who are afflicted by GBS each year, according to the CDC. GBS can result in permanent leg or arm weakness and paralysis. GBS can result in death.
What Are the Symptoms of GBS?
The symptoms of Guillain-Barré Syndrome start with weakness or tingling in the feet/legs or hands/arms. The sensation can spread until the person becomes paralyzed. Common symptoms include:
- Numbness in hands and feet
- Pins and needles in arms and legs
- Weakness in arms and legs
- Difficulty walking
- Difficulty with balance
- Fatigue
- Falls

What Causes Guillain-Barré Syndrome?
Scientists are not sure what causes Guillain-Barré, but they do know the disease is not contagious. When GBS is triggered in a patient, their immune system begins to attack itself. The immune system attacks the myelin sheath that surrounds the axons of peripheral nerves as well as the axons themselves. The myelin sheath is responsible for the transmission of nerve signals. When myelin sheath is injured or broken the nerves are unable to transmit signals efficiently. This is why the muscles begin to lose their ability to respond to the brain’s signals. GBS is an autoimmune illness that may be triggered post-vaccination due to the scientific concept of molecular mimicry.

How soon after vaccination does GBS occur?
Guillain-Barré syndrome can stem from many different medical conditions. Patients often do not recognize the symptoms right away, as it can take several weeks after the vaccination for the symptoms to become concerning. Many times the onset of symptoms begin as soon as 1 day post- vaccination and as long as 56 days post-vaccination.
Patients who develop GBS often face a long recovery. Our role is to help you determine whether or not your illness stemmed from an autoimmune reaction to a vaccine.
