#Guillain Barre Syndrome

[vaccinelaw]

If you filed a vaccine injury claim and lost, you are not alone. Over the past 10 years, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (the “Vaccine Court”) has dismissed thousands of claims under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). In fact, since Congress established the VICP in 1988, the Vaccine Court has dismissed more claims than it has compensated.

Guillain Barre Syndrome is a rare but serious neurological condition that requires prompt medical attention and intervention. With the appropriate treatment and management strategies, patients with GBS can achieve significant improvement and regain function. Early recognition of symptoms and timely initiation of treatment are critical for optimizing outcomes in individuals affected by GBS.  Dr. Rohit Gupta stands out as one of the best Doctor for Guillain Barre Syndrome in India. With a stellar reputation in the field of neurology, Dr. Gupta brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table.

Definition and pathogenesis – The acute immune-mediated polyneuropathies are classified under the eponym Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The acute polyneuropathy of GBS is triggered when an immune response to an antecedent event cross-reacts with shared epitopes on peripheral nerve (molecular mimicry).

●Antecedent triggers – Most patients report an antecedent infection or other event in the four weeks prior to GBS. Upper respiratory tract infection and gastroenteritis are the most common infections, and Campylobacter jejuni gastroenteritis is the most commonly identified precipitant of GBS.

●Epidemiology – GBS occurs worldwide with an overall incidence of 1 to 2 cases per 100,000 per year. The incidence increases by approximately 20 percent with every 10-year increase in age.

●Clinical features – The typical clinical features of GBS include progressive and symmetric muscle weakness with absent or depressed deep tendon reflexes. Patients may also have sensory symptoms and dysautonomia.

•GBS symptoms typically progress over a period of two weeks. If the nadir is reached within 24 hours or after 4 weeks of symptom onset, alternative diagnoses must be considered.

•GBS is a heterogeneous syndrome with variant forms that may be identified by distinguishing clinical and pathologic features. Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is the most common form of GBS. Common variant forms include acute motor axonal neuropathy, acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy, Miller Fisher syndrome, and Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis.

●Diagnostic evaluation – The initial diagnosis of GBS is based on the clinical features consistent with the syndrome: acute onset of progressive, mostly symmetric muscle weakness, and reduced or absent deep tendon reflexes. The clinical diagnosis of GBS is confirmed if cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and electrodiagnostic studies show typical abnormalities.

•CSF findings in patients with GBS is an albuminocytologic dissociation consisting of an elevated CSF protein (typically 45 to 200 mg/dL [0.45 to 2.0 g/L]) with a normal white blood cell count (typically <5 cells/mm3 but may be elevated up to 50 cells/mm3).

•Electrodiagnostic studies may show prolonged or absent F waves and absent H reflexes, increased distal latencies and conduction blocks with temporal dispersion, significant slowing or absent response on nerve conduction velocities, and reduced recruitment or denervation on needle electromyography of weak muscles.

•Laboratory testing is performed for all patients to screen other common causes of acute weakness. We reserve ganglioside autoantibody testing for patients with symptoms suggestive of a variant form of GBS. Neuroimaging is typically used for patients with atypical symptoms to exclude alternative etiologies.

●Differential diagnosis – The differential diagnosis of GBS includes chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, other acute polyneuropathies, and diseases of the spinal cord, neuromuscular junction, and muscle. Patients with features atypical for GBS should be evaluated for alternative sources to symptoms.

Mnemonic For Understanding Guillain-Barré Syndrome: GBS

G - Gradual onset of weakness, often beginning in the legs   B - Body's own immune system attacking the nerves   S - Symptoms include muscle weakness, tingling, and in severe cases, paralysis  

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare but serious autoimmune disorder that often comes on quickly, following a minor infection such as a lung or stomach bug. It leads to muscle weakness that can evolve into severe nerve dysfunction.

The "gradual onset of weakness" encapsulates the first hallmark of GBS: a weakness that often starts in the legs and moves upward. The "body's own immune system attacking the nerves" serves as a reminder of the autoimmune nature of the condition. Lastly, "symptoms" emphasizes that, in addition to muscle weakness, GBS can present with tingling and, in severe cases, complete paralysis.

There's a risk with flu-type vaccinations (think J&J) of developing guillain-barre syndrome, so people with a history of that illness have to get a different vaccine.

I think it was in Sweden back during the avian flu panic that an avian flu vaccine was found to be triggering a statistically significant percentage of people who received that vaccine to develop Narcolepsy (a sleep disorder characterized by a deficiency in hypocretin; scientific consensus atm is that Narcolepsy is caused by an autoimmune reaction, but is not in itself an autoimmune disorder).

That vaccine was pulled from the market, but the negative response after that fiasco meant that Sweden struggled pretty badly to convince people to get the Covid vaccination once they were on the market. Iirc it's still an uphill battle for them, even though the risks of developing any kind of unanticipated reaction is almost comically slim.

The thing with Narcolepsy is that you generally already have a genetic predisposition towards developing that illness. Having that genetic switch go from "on" to "off" can be caused by anything ranging from a bad cold to a severe infection to, yes, a vaccine.

I don't know if there's a test for genetic predisposition to Narcolepsy, but even if there was, holding off on getting vaccinated out of a fear of developing an autoimmune-response triggered illness is a pretty backwards way of looking at things because *not* getting vaccinated puts you at far higher risk of developing chronic illnesses or disabililities as a consequence of getting infected with whatever the vaccine helps protect you against.

Vaccines also drastically reduce your risk of *dying* of the illness in the event you do contract it.

Are there risks to vaccination? Yes, there are some. My parents knew a few people who suffered severe guillain-barre illnesses after a big vaccination rollout in New York in the 1970's. Narcolepsy as a potential risk of vaccination is a more recent discovery, and the exact level of risk there is still being studied, but from what I can tell is lower than the guillain-barre risk.

The key point to keep in mind though is that scientists and doctors are constantly monitoring those kinds of reactions, and there are numerous instances of vaccines being pulled from the market because the in-practice occurrence of severe autoimmune reactions was significantly higher than anticipated, or deemed safe. Scientists also go back over all that data to see if they can determine what caused the uptick in risk, and they learn from that to reduce the risks and dangers at every step they can.

No endeavor is risk-free, and that includes walking down the street, buying something off the internet, and getting vaccinated. In the case of vaccination, however, the endeavor of *not* getting vaccinated is severely more risk-laden than the endeavor of getting vaccinated.

The major exception to this rule is, of course, people with deathly allergy to primary components of the vaccines in question, or other medically-based vaccine exemptions. I've come across a few instances of people who cannot get vaccinated due to allergies being lectured that they should get vaccinated anyway to protect people who cannot get vaccinated for other reasons. As if not getting vaccinated due to allergies is an invalid reason to not be vaccinated. For these people, it might be a close call, but getting vaccinated is in the short-term more dangerous than the risk of getting infected. Allergy-related vaccination exemptions are completely valid, as are other medical-related vaccination exemptions. I talk about guillain-barre and narcolepsy here because I have family who have/have had both conditions. A family member who had guillain-barre is always frustrated by "Get your flu vaccination here!" signs because he feels like he's being taunted, even though he knows that if he walked in, they'd tell him, "You have a medical exemption, it's okay."

So if someone you know has a medical-related vaccine exemption, don't push them about it. The world is a super scary place if you can't get vaccinated against one of the major viral killers of the day. You don't need to make the world even worse for them to live in.

TL;DR: Immunology and vaccinations are a complex science, but in the grand scheme of things you're in safer hands getting vaccinated than not. The exception to this is if you have a medically-based vaccination exemption, in which case your medical provider has deemed getting vaccinated a more dangerous risk than that posed by the illness itself.

Be prepared for the anti-Covid vaccine rhetoric to be at a fever pitch again with the new wave of variants. Yes, the anti-vax rhetoric hasn't gone away, just been a murmur. But the conservative family in my life are reactionary to things when there's a spike in rhetoric. & so by how they're panicking, it's gonna get bad.

The current nonsense is:

A handful of people who received the vaccine are now experiencing autoimmune disorders. There's no backup data critically asking if there are other underlying factors. The conservatives are just running full steam with it & applying it to everyone who received the vaccine saying - they're ALL autoimmune now. & that the only people who are going to survive the new variant wave are the unvaccinated, which isn't true. 🙄

Don't listen to the anti-Covid propaganda.

A huge study of #LongCovid in South Korea and Japan shows a pronounced increase of Guillain-Barré syndrome, cognitive deficit, insomnia, anxiety disorder, encephalitis, ischemic stroke and mood disorder. Reduced by vaccination.

Posted by @ danibeckman on X

A super important study published today. They looked at 10 million people in Japan and 12 million in South Korea.

The long-term risk of neuropsychiatric events following COVID-19 was higher than the risk in both the general population and those with another respiratory infection. Guillain-Barré syndrome had the highest hazard ratio post-COVID-19 diagnosis, followed by cognitive deficit, insomnia, anxiety disorder, encephalitis, ischaemic stroke, mood disorder, and nerve disorder.

This list of neurological symptoms is way too diverse and complex! What's is going on? Viral persistence? Autoimmunity? General neuroinflammation? So many questions...

The CDC uses a three-stage approach to evaluate vaccine safety. Of course, this oversimplifies the process a bit. Within each of these stages, there are numerous intermediate steps, and multiple agencies and clinical researchers are involved in determining whether a vaccine should be released for widespread use in the United States.
