Theresa,

Regarding options for support groups, GBS is so rare, it’s sometimes helpful to think outside the box, utilizing the local support of a spinal injury group, MS Society, or a Myasthnia Gravis Foundation meeting. Many of the mobility and endurance challenges are similar in terms of functioning. Otherwise, there are sometimes phone conference support groups and online support groups (check out Yahoo.groups). These are boards whereby you can post questions and receive responses. It’s important to remember safety practices and weigh the type of information you glean, referring back to your medical doctor(s) for medical decisions. The internet does provide a great source of support and networking. Glad to hear you job is waiting for you. Best wishes!

Linda
