The Blast described Guillain-Barré as a rare disorder that causes severe muscle weakness and can progress to paralysis. Here’s more on the illness:

The disorder causes a person’s immune system to attack their nerves, which disrupts communication with muscles and other parts of the body. People who suffer from Guillain-Barré syndrome may first notice symptoms like weakness, tingling sensations or pain in the legs. In severe cases, the disorder could lead to paralysis and other problems. Guillain-Barré can last for a few weeks or several months. While it’s not always possible to pinpoint an exact cause of the syndrome, experts believe it might be triggered by a bacterial or viral infection like a respiratory illness or food poisoning. Guillain-Barré syndrome is also sometimes associated with vaccines, surgery and pregnancies.

According to the Mayo Clinic website, “the disorder can lead to life-threatening complications” if someone’s chest muscles become too weak for them to breathe properly. It adds that it’s possible for people who have Guillain-Barré syndrome recover completely. “However, some people experience lasting effects from this disorder—especially if they don’t receive appropriate care.”

Her reps have not stated what stage she has been diagnosed with.
