I was 12 years old when I came down with GBS in 1968. Back then no one know what to do......I recovered 80% of my lower extremities. I am so glad that they have this foundation and their resources to help educate new survivors.

I was also 12 yrs. old when I came down with GBS. I'm about 90% recovered. Still have drop foot which is difficult to get rid of. At 73 yrs. old I have incorporated A.F.O. for my foot drop. Hope it helps.

i feel reading your stories i am not alone. I contracted GBS on April of 2021 at the age of 63. I thought I would never walk again. I would like to thank all those who helped me in my recovery...my wife and son. Especially, I would like to thank all the staff at the Siskin Rehabilitation Center in Chattanooga. TN. The only thing I did not go through was going through the birth canal lol. Those who have gone though GBS knows. I cannot finish without saying but by the grace of God I am walking today, thank you Lord. I hope one day to meet you at one of the annual GBS Convention. I pray that Almighty Father thought your body and restore those nerves and muscles to become alive and function like new. Amen and God bless James

My name is Peter. I'm lying in the hospital right now because I have GBS. It was a real shock to me when I learned what could happen. Thanks to my doctors here in Germany, I have been able to avert the worst. I can walk again and slowly work my way back into life.

I got that when i was 15. It started as a migraine then it went to fever. I have not received shots before that. It was scary not knowing at that time what was really happening and why was it happening. The experience was very traumatic being the only one awake in the ICU. Trying to walk again and poop was hard but trying to pee was the hardest. I was on catheter for a month after i was discharged from the hospital. Having to pee by myself...without catheter is one of the most joyous times i have ever experienced. That time, i thought to myself that that was the sign that i am back to my normal self.

Trisha Joy Damaso yeah I received the same treatment, it was definitely a really scary time, especially for me and where I grew up, cause I’m from the uk and it’s pretty small, and not many people knew about it 10+ years ago and it took many people to find out what was going on

This will be a 45-60' phone discussion and the usual payment is 250-350 USD/hr.

I am Australian Male, then about 48yo, I had a warehouse job and we had for the past couple of days been doing a stocktake. I had been climbing up and down the racking counting anomalous stock. The third day my muscles were sore and I had 'pins and needles' in my hands and feet but put it down to using muscles I had not used for a while and that I'd be back to normal after a couple of days. Wrong! After barely 2 weeks I could hardly climb a flight of stairs so decided to seek a Doctor. This was Easter time and the Thursday before Good Friday. My Doctor was a tiny little Chinese lady who, after questions about my illness and performing a 'sharp/blunt' test on my hands and feet, immediately called her Mentor who was the Head of Neurology at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital. I was in hospital after seeing him that afternoon. The staff that perform Plasma Phoreces were to have Easter off but one of them decided that my condition was far too serious to wait for four days and volunteered to come in to perform the PP's to halt the syndrome, successful after 3 PP's. I am 74yo now and have regained much of my strength and am still mobile and doing things but it may well have been another story if that wonderful Nurse had not volunteered her holiday to treat my condition. I am forever grateful.

Jordan Masterson I got it when I was 5 and I’m the exact same, I’m not sure what caused mine for definite, but we believe it was because I cut myself skate boring, it was agony, and then about a week later I got the pins and Kneedles which honestly was the worst part honestly, it only ever made it to my core, but it did corrode it, and I still have problems with my core activity, but I do believe it made me grow and develop faster or something like that cause at 11 dude, I was like 6 foot, 😂

@@missb2411 drs now think it’s all covid related as they have seen an increase in cases, my son is recovering but slowly, he’s walking and talking now goes to school but he’s not the same gets tired very easily, I suppose the nerves that have been damaged will take time to recover some nerves don’t recover at all but as he’s young they are very optimistic, hope your grandson gets well soon it’s a very horrible thing to go through not only for the patient but for the family also, what scares me is he will get it again
@missb24112 жыл бұрын
I absolutely agree with everything you've said. I also believe it is covid related and am hearing of more and more cases recently. I'm really glad your son is getting back some normality and wishing him a full recovery. I heard that the nerves repair at around 1/2 an inch a month ago it can be slow. Also so worried my grandson will get it again but apparently only around 5% relapse. Have you spoken to the charity GAIN? They've been amazing and really make you feel calmer. Sending you lots of positivity. It's so hard watching your children suffer and being unable to help them.

My 3 year old grandson was diagnosed a month ago and is now home after ivig treatment. What treatment are they giving your son? It can be a very slow healing process once he completes treatment, GBS also stands for Get Better Slowly. My grandson can now crawl and take a few steps after 1 month. Sending healing to your son and hope for his full recovery.
