GBS affects the peripheral nerves while MS affects the central nerves. A neuro examination should determine if the cause was peripheral or central. GBS is an acute illness which, by definition, is at its worse within 42 days after onset of symptoms. Patients with MS demonstrate a very slow decline over an extended period. There is a related chronic condition to GBS called CIDP which affects the peripheral nerves but shows a slow decline, sometimes relapsing. For more info on GBS/CIDP go www.gbs.org.uk.

Do you capitalize the disease Celiac Sprue?
No. Unless it is part of the name of an organisation. Capitals are used when the disease name includes the name of a person or place "Bornholm disease" "Huntingdon's Chorea" "Alzheimer's disease", "Guillame-Barre syndrome". Capitals are also used for diseases known by initials even if the full name is purely descriptive and doesn't include a person's or place name eg multiple sclerosis is MS.

Benign fascilation syndrome causes twitching but no actual nerve damage as MS does or other neurological diseases. BFS is usually diagnosed after other conditions such as MS are ruled out by tests and physical exams/symptoms since there is not a single test to diagnose this condition. however, it is hard to diagnose because they're very similar they have to test the nerves

What causes destruction of the myelin sheath?
A disease that effects the myelin sheath is multiple sclerosis (MS). The function of the myelin sheath is to act as an insulator for the nerve cell. It's kind of like the rubber casing found on the outside of wires to protect the electron movement inside and allow us not to get shocked. MS causes the destruction of the myelin sheath which causes it to scar and harden and as a result we short circuit in our body. This is equivalent to peeling off some of the rubber casing off a wire and then plugging the wire into a socket. Some results of MS are: -double vision -speech impairment -jerky limbs -paralyzed muscles.
How good is Clear for online gaming?
See the Clear Ping and Road Runner Ping from below. I have both currently and was able to plug in and test both on the same comp within a minute of each other. However Road Runner Seems to vary between awesome and absolute crap. I have seen Road Runner be as bad as 200+ ping times reliably for days. Then some time later it magically fixes itself and no I do not torrent. I have had technicians out to my home 8 separate times. If I wasn't a hardcore gamer I would definitely choose clear over road runner.
