Hi Rex: I do not have enough information to be able to comment. Please answer the following: 1. How old are you? 2. When did you have GBS? 3. How severe was your weakness; i.e., were you able to walk? If you were unable to walk how long were you bed-bound. 4. Is the swelling only when you are upright; i.e., is it still there when you get up in the morning? Gareth
