A HEARTFELT WELCOME TO THE COMMUNITY
There might not be many positives experiencing GBS, CIDP or any of the variant disorders, but we can think of at least one. We have a dynamic and growing GBS/CIDP community.
We offer support to anyone interested in or dealing with GBS or CIDP.

In the NewsEven though the internet has opened up a world of knowledge at our finger tips, finding both interesting and informative news and research online can be challenging.
Part of our mission is to help spread awareness and to provide the materials that support those who need it. Our responsibility is to make sure we pass along information that is accurate and helpful. You will see some of that content in our In the News section.
Community Events
The GBS/CIDP Foundation International is proud to host many events on a regular schedule. Everything from local chapter meetings to our upcoming 12th International Symposium in late October of this year.
Another exciting event is the big GBS/CIDP 5K & Miracle Mile run in Charlotte, NC. Make sure to mark your calendar for that on this coming Mother’s Day weekend. We have folks from Canada and Europe already letting us know how excited they are to have booked their tickets early. Now that’s commitment. More >>
Expert diagnosis & management of inflammatory neuropathies is critical to our patients. This is what our medical advisory board members had in mind when setting up the new Centers of Excellence program. A year later, we continue to add healthcare facilities providing exactly that.
