The life expectancy of someone who has recovered from GBS is generally the same as anyone else. There is a very small chance of having a re-occurrence of GBS. It is very important to receive the correct medical care and immunoglobin therapy in the early stage of the illness as this can influence the speed and extent of of recovery. Complications that can endanger the life of a person with GBS are generally controlled while in the ICU, and these include difficulty breathing and high blood pressure.
