It happened after the second dose of the vacinne (started 3 days after and it is not related to the virus). It is completely gone now so not sure what doctors will find.

I also didn't have any paralysis at any moment, just pain.

There are two possible ways to diagnose it:

1) Blood tests. Some documented variants of Guillain-Barré are associated with an antibody called GQ1b. If it would be present, "could be" a diagnosis of the Miller- Fisher variant

2) Lumbar puncture. A special needle is placed into the area around the spinal cord in the lower back, and a small amount of fluid is removed. Naturally this second option is only chosen in more persistent cases.
