Guillain-Barre syndrome is a rare disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves. Weakness and tingling in extremities is usually the first symptom, and may quickly spread, potentially paralyzing the body. In its most severe form, Guillain-Barre syndrome is a medical emergency. Treatment typically facilitates recovery, but side effects like numbness or fatigue may linger.
