Free GBS, CIDP & Miller Fisher Support - National | GBS|CIDP Fdn

About This Group

The GBS|CIDP Foundation International is a nonprofit founded in 1980 by Estelle and Robert Benson, after Robert was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). It now supports people affected by GBS, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), and related variants, including rarer ones like Miller Fisher syndrome, worldwide.

Ways to Find Support

The Foundation runs local Chapter Meetings in rotating cities, held in person or virtually, plus a monthly Community Connections program that mixes supportive Zoom coffee chats with Speaker Series webinars. Anyone can also join the Foundation’s online Community Forum to connect with other patients and care partners. Chapter meeting locations change month to month, so check the Foundation’s calendar for what is currently running near you.

Who This Is For

Patients, family members, and care partners affected by GBS, CIDP, MMN, or a related variant such as Miller Fisher syndrome. The Foundation’s International Allied Support Groups page also names Miller Fisher specifically among the conditions it points people toward resources for.
