My 25-years-old fiancee has affected by Guillain barre syndrome and under treatment for last 25 days. She was in ICU for more than 10 days and were taken immunoglobulin course. Now started doing physiotherapy. She is still not able to do anything her own and seems too weak. Now, I am confused about the marriage, which was fixed in November and I am also worried about her health and any future problems can occur? Please help me to take a good decision.

Please note the following in respect to your queries: Guillain–Barré syndrome can lead to death as a result of a number of complications: severe infections, blood clots, and cardiac arrest likely due to autonomic neuropathy. Despite optimum care this occurs in about 5% of cases. There is a variation in the rate and extent of recovery. The prognosis of Guillain–Barré syndrome is determined mainly by age (those over 40 may have a poorer outcome), and by the severity of symptoms after two weeks. Furthermore, those who experienced diarrhea before the onset of disease have a worse prognosis The health-related quality of life (HRQL) after an attack of Guillain–Barré syndrome can be significantly impaired. About a fifth is unable to walk unaided after six months, and many experience chronic pain, fatigue and difficulty with work, education, hobbies and social activities. HRQL improves significantly in the first year. Nothing can be told immediately now - you have to wait and watch about the outcome of the treatment.
