Hi ,
It may seem strange to still need answers (my dad died 4 weeks ago) but I do. What eats at me is that he never got a definite diagnosis. The first neuro, end of July, said he thought it was PMA, the second, beginning of October, said no, he thought it was Guillane-Barre. From doing online research, I'm more confused than ever. It sounds like Guillane-Barre comes on much more quickly, and doesn't seem to explain the great weight loss and muscle wasting. Does anybody out there know how these 2 diseases could be similar enough to both be possibilities? It is a moot point now, and I know I need to "move on," but it's easier said than done.
