3. It is a treatable disorder.
There is the possibility of at least managing the symptoms. A friend of mine had it and was able to lead a very active life for a long-time afterwards.

I wish Luci well.

13. I am a Guillain-Barre Survivor
I had it when I was 20 years old. It was terrible. I was completely paralyzed and on life support for 3 months. Then to a rehab to learn how to use everything all over again.
I wish her well this is a sudden dibilitating disease that some never recover fully from.

14. Wow she is 62
Edited on Sun Apr-18-10 07:36 AM by samplegirl
Much harder to get through this at that age. Recovery is very slow. Funny thing is most cases are reported in the month of April and May.
Mine came on in April as well.
