2025 Speaker Series

Speaker - Dr. Chafic Karam, Penn Medicine

As we age, it’s natural to experience changes in strength, mobility, and overall health—but for individuals who have previously had Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), distinguishing between normal aging and lingering effects of GBS can be challenging. This webinar will explore common age-related health issues and how they compare to residual symptoms from GBS, including fatigue, weakness, and nerve-related concerns. Dr. Chafic Karam of the Foundation's Global Medical Advisory Board will join this conversation to help us learn about the difference.

Who should attend:

Survivors of GBS and their families will benefit from learning this information, no matter how long ago the GBS occurred. Medical professionals who see patients with GBS may also find value in this information.

Please note that this webinar will focus primarily on GBS
