Just noticed this thread...sorry! Although there is much evidence that vaccines have contributed to the onset of Guillain-Barre, most cases are traced to an upper respiratory infection. That's what led to my onset. It's a real eye-opener auto-immune syndrome as your own system begins to destroy your nerve endings. Over a period of one week I went from a strong and in-shape (old guy) to being unable to walk (my legs were paralyzed.) As it moved up my body my arms and hands were affected. Breathing became difficult. After two trips to ER, I finally went to a neurosurgeon who diagnosed me in 2 minutes. Rushed to ER a spinal tap confirmed it. Seven days of Infusions stopped the progression and five years thus far of recovery have gained back around 75% of original strength. It's a very rare syndrome with about 5% of the cases leading to death, 20% never recover fully and 75% fully recover. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
