Within a week or two got my taste buds up and running. I think they say the last thing you lose is one of the first to come back. Still have issues with other stuff relating to the gbs. Things like reflexes, walking, and balance were/are exciting to have back as well.

prior to gbs attack, I had lost taste senses.. Things tasted metal like.

In my opinion, giving up is tantamount to no longer wanting to live. When I was first diagnosed with GBS, things were a bit rocky as I lacked a support system. I had to realize the only way I’d survive (mentally and physically) is if I depended on God and myself as much as possible. GBS and its residuals may have stolen bits of my independence, however, I’m fiercely holding onto everything else.

I try my best not to sweat the small stuff. I pick and choose my battles in life wisely as nothing is more important than my health and peace (piece~grin) of mind.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!! 🙂

Take care,

Tina
