Sarah so sorry to hear about your GBS diagnosis. I'm new to this support group and am still in recovery but almost back to my old self. I was diagnosed in 2/09 and I too have experienced numbness, tingling and weakness in my hands as well as my feet. It does get better with time. Some things I tried were daily practice on a keyboard, therapy silly putty or squishy balls will help with the strength and circulation in yoru hands. I still have some tingling and weakness but its bearable. Best of luck to you and your recovery.
