G/B Syndrome update

Very many thanks for the helpful links and personal experiences posted to date. Relative has been in hospital for a week with not much progress in diagnosis as the neurologist is on holiday until Tuesday. However, a lumbar puncture and scan (I don't know of what) were scheduled for yesterday. I don't know if they took place or what the results were but a major abnormality was picked up in a blood test and there is thought that it may be something picked up during the second trip made to LA about 3 weeks ago More info when I have it but it seems that it may not be GBS after all which is something of a relief, although whatever it is seems very unpleasant.
I am going visiting my relative until 17th August, in hospital or at home, and will post an update on test results etc then. Again, thanks for answers and interest shown in this case!
