I saw a provider at my primary care doctor's office who after some in office questions, description of the pain, and some basic neuro tests said to me he believed I had GBS and I needed to go to the ER right away to be admitted to the hospital for a complete neuro work up. Once I was admitted my neurologist came and saw me, he agreed with my doctor's office about it being GBS and started me on IVIG before my labs had returned. But true confirmation of GBS came from my spinal tap. I also had a test done where the shock your muscles, and a MRI, and a lot of blood work done.
