Anybody with…

I think it’s important to know that there are various degrees of recovery from AMAN just as with other types of GBS. I had AMAN in 2001 and was completely paralyzed below the neck but escaped the vent. I immediately received 8 IVIG treatments. A year later I was driving again with about 85% recovery which is where I am today and I am in my seventies. Lots of PT and water aerobics helped I’m sure. At one conference I met a younger man with AMAN who had exactly the same degree of recovery as I did. Recovery is difficult to predict as it is based on a number of factors. Being optimistic and carrying out your daily exercise routines helps. Good luck!
