What Is GBS?
5. Numbness
As mentioned, instances of GBS typically affect the hands, the feet, and the limbs. The symptoms will typically first appear in the patients hands and feet before eventually spreading to the limbs. Once these symptoms arise, they will worsen over the following few days and the symptoms will sometimes spread very rapidly.
The symptoms involved will generally include numbness, weakness in the muscles, muscle pain, and pins and needles. Symptoms like these are often a sign of a potentially serious underlying problem, so medical assistance should be sought. If there is a problem with the nervous system, it is important to get it seen to as soon as possible to prevent permanent damage.
