Even while surrounded by love and support, #GBS can be isolating when people can't understand the way your body, or mind, feels.
You can join a group of people who do get it though. Our Online #GuillainBarre Get Together meets in an hour at 2pm

During a #heatwave, some #InflammatoryNeuropathies like #CIDP can feel more pronounced due to the temp.
Pins & needles can feel more prominent, especially at night after a day outside. Take precautions when out - drink more water, seek shade, and sit down/rest frequently.

Did you know 500,000 litres of #plasma from blood & direct plasma donations could help approx. 2,463 people with #CIDP? An amazing result, but because so many other conditions, including #InflammatoryNeuropathies like #GBS require #immunoglobulin, the #NHS always need more.
