GBS is a rare autoimmune disorder in which a person’s own immune system mounts an inflammatory response, causing damage to their peripheral nerves. It can affect the sensory, motor and autonomic nerves. Symptoms can include sensory disturbances in the hands, arms, feet and legs, muscle weakness and loss of reflexes.
