Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The three phases of GBS are the progressive phase (lasting from days to 4 weeks), a plateau phase with little clinical change (lasting from days to months), and a recovery phase. By 7 days, about three quarters of patients will achieve their nadir in neurologic function, and 98% will do so by 4 weeks.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are 4 clinical forms of GBS: 1) acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, 2) acute motor axonal neuropathy, 3) acute sensory and motor axonal neuropathy, and 4) the Miller-Fisher variant, which is characterized by ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia, with little muscle weakness.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first symptoms of Guillain-Barré syndrome include weakness or tingling sensations. They usually start in the legs, and can spread to the arms and face. For some people, these symptoms can lead to paralysis of the legs, arms, or muscles in the face.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are five phases in the recovery process: experiencing dependency, encountering helplessness, wanting to know more about GBS, discovering inner strength, and regaining independence. Moving from dependency to independence was facilitated by the patients’ discovery of their inner strengths.
