Guillain-Barre Syndrome: From Diagnosis to Recovery

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome or one of its variants — including acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) — you need reliable information, and you need it quickly. This book, written by two of the world's leading neurologists and published by the American Academy of Neurology Press, is the most authoritative patient-facing guide available on GBS and the conditions that fall within its spectrum.

It will walk you through exactly what is happening in your body, what your treatment options are, and what recovery actually looks like — including the hard truth that improvement can be slow, uneven, and emotionally exhausting. The authors don't minimize that. They also give you the tools to navigate a healthcare system that may not always communicate clearly, so you can advocate for yourself or your family member with confidence.

Whether you're in the acute phase, deep in rehabilitation, or trying to make sense of a diagnosis after the fact, this book meets you where you are. It's the resource patients and caregivers reach for first — and keep coming back to throughout the recovery process.
