Hi Yulia

Just wanted to say how inspirational your post was. First of all your English is great. I dont know too many English speaking people who could comminicate so fluently in their second language.

secondly, how great they you feel yours is a success story even though you still can’t stand or walk on your own. It is great that you have such a positive attitude and no doubt that will help you throughout your rehab process.

Good luck

I got GBS in july also. Luckily I was diagnosed the next day when i was transferred to a bigger hospital with a neurologist. I hate to think what might have happened if i hadnt been diagnosed as I was on a ventilator within 48hrs. I was lucky i got IVIG straight away and after 5 days in a coma began to recover slowly but surely. I walked out of hospital 7 weeks later and now almost 5 months later am virtually back to normal.

I am glad you found this site as there has barely been a day since i got home from hopsital that I havent visited the site. There is so much information (sometimes i think the people here know more than the doctors) and it so good to hear from other people who have been through the experience.
