Being diagnosed with Guillain-Barré (GBS), Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) or another Inflammatory Neuropathy can be a scary time, it can also be a particularly confusing time where you hear lots of long medical terms or get confronted by stacks of literature. In the early stages this can be hard to deal with, so at GAIN we’re providing you some simple and accessible blogs that will hopefully help explain a little of what is happening to you or a loved one. 

The first block of these will be going up on a weekly basis, so please check back frequently. Is there something you’d like to hear from GAIN that we haven’t yet covered, please get in touch at office@gainchartity.org.uk. It may already be in the pipeline but we would hate to miss something you may find useful.
