A friend was recently diagnosed with Gilliam Beret Syndrome and I can find nothing about it. Please help.?

I have little red bumps on my face that are basically pimples and they're really annoying (IT'S NOT ACNE)

Answers:
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), is an acquired immune-mediated inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nervous system (i.e. not the brain or spinal cord). It is also called acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, acute idiopathic polyradiculoneuritis, acute idiopathic polyneuritis, French Polio and Landry's ascending paralysis.

Overview
The pathologic hallmark of the disease is loss of myelin in peripheral nerves due to an acute and progressive inflammation of unknown cause. It is suggested that it is an autoimmune disease, in which the sufferer's immune system is triggered into damaging the nerve covering. There is some support for this in that half of all cases occur soon after a microbial infection or respiratory or gastrointestinal viral infection. Many cases developed in people who received the 1976 swine flu vaccine.

Peripheral nerves originate in the spinal cord and proceed to their target tissues (mainly muscle, skin and all internal organs). Their most proximal parts emerging from the spinal cord are called nerve roots and the inflammation in most (but not all) typical Guillain-Barré syndrome cases starts in these roots. Therefore, this condition is also referred to as acute polyradiculoneuritis.

Recent studies on the disease have demonstrated that approximately 80% of the patients have myelin loss, whereas, in the remaining 20%, the pathologic hallmark of the disease is indeed axon loss. The cases indicating the demyelinating form (AIDP) are called "acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy" (AMSAN); the cases showing only motor symptoms (diffuse weakness) are called "acute motor axonal neuropathy" (AMAN). In a different and infrequent variant called Miller Fisher syndrome, patients develop ataxia, loss of tendon reflexes, and difficulty moving eye muscles but not weakness or sensory loss. All variants of Guillain-Barré syndrome are now supposed to be an autoimmune disease caused by antibodies against a variety of gangliosides found in abundant amounts in the peripheral nerve tissue.

is there a web site that has a list of callories burned by doing daily activites.?

Are you sure you've spelled the name of the syndrome correctly? There are several syndrome's that may sound like that, but aren't spelled that way.

Why one become weak nervous unable to do anything suddenly as if dehydrated and become normal after intake?

Guillain-Barré syndrome is an inherited disorder. its kind of like Lou Gehrig's Disease (this one the muscle weakness starts on the feet and moves up. most patients die from respiratory failure and aspiration when the disease moves to the chest). in GBS the weakness starts on the face and moves down. you might get weakness of the muscles around the eyes, mouth, ect. they have better treatments now than in the past and the prognosis is individualized. many do really well.

what is the definition of physcotic?

The answer describing this as an inherited disorder is incorrect, it is an acquired disorder. I believe Andy Griffith had it a couple of decades ago and recovered nicely, although it took a few years. They will need to learn patience, and lots of it. There is a nice book called "Devil's Disease" about one man's trip though it, unsure of the author.
