residuals and relapse

I am a surivor of GBS had one flare up a few months ago with the flu and in another flare up right now following a respitory infection/cold. I have gone more numb from my chin down to my feet. This sucks everytime i get sick it seems there is a flare up. Last one required hospitalization. I havnt really told my mom the extent of my numbness. I am not sure she would believe me anyway. This makes it hard to go to the doctor. I live with my parents and they control my finances. I think they are sick of me being sick I know I am.
