My husband was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome last August 2010 and still shows symptoms. He still drinks alcohol like he used to before he was diagnosed. I would think it better to abstain until the nerves are back to normal.

Hi Anon
Thanks for your question!
Drinking alcohol when recovering from any kind of illness is not a good idea. In fact, alcohol usage is a factor in diagnosing GBS.
I think it's a good idea for him to abstain or limit himself to a few beers per week (or whatever his choice of drink is). Do you think he drinks too much, as it is?
Best,
