7. Other Conditions Can Linger
Guillain Barre Syndrome usually comes in a matter of days or weeks, and where that is the case, recovery will likely be equally quick. However, it can take a long time for the individual
to completely regain control and sensation in their bodies. The individual may struggle to relearn old movement patterns and might find they suffer from a muscular weakness for a time afterward.
However, what’s also true is that Guillain Barre Syndrome can cause other conditions. For instance, one complication is acute motor axonal neuropathy, and another is acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy. Here, it is not just the myelin sheaths but also the axons (the tails of the neurons that carry the signals) that are damaged. By damaging the actual brain cells in this way, Guillain Barre Syndrome is more likely to cause long term damage.
