If GBS were a color….

Black changing to shade of Blue and finally white as you see light at the end of the blues.

Tingle…

definitely black. gbs = being trapped in your own body.

I always see green. i don’t know why but i do. maybe it has something to do with the grass or leaves-green to yellow to brown, as the paralysis goes away it changes my color thoughts, from working good=green, to yellow=electrical shocks, searing pain, to brown=not much feeling left. sometimes change isn’t always good.

First thought was black. But after that green definitely overtook and stayed – no idea why.

I picture a silver zig zag.

Red… not sure why, maybe it has to do with all the frickin blood they took. Or maybe its because red symbolizes so much more to do with what we have been through.

Red also symbolizes love which we all are getting from somewhere or feeling for ourselves at least.

Red symbolizes strong emotions, weather it be fear, hope, encouragement, etc.

Red symbolizes the color of the sun which is a symbol of energy. We dont feel like we have most days but it has taken a lot of energey to get to where we are.

Red also symoblizes strength and courage and we all have that by making it through this.

Red, the color of blood, represents life and vitality and though it seemed at times like we would not pull through, we have made it to this point!

my first thought was blue: i think because of the bracelets.
Next came pink: no clue why
white comes to me because when i would close my eyes i felt like a ping pong ball was bouncing around in my head
so maybe for me it would have to be a rainbow of colors, each meaning something different

I would say black because you feel so alone, lost and in the dark about what to expect. when I think of GBS I think of pain physical, mental and emotional.

At first I too thought of green, not any reason I can think of but then it changed to black. The more I thought about the green the more I realized it wasn’t appropriate and the deep dark black was. Kinda of strange that Ali did black then green. Maybe it is where we are in DX/recovery/Post cycle?

Grey….definitely grey……such a lite color that you can almost not see it, even in the brightest light of day……it’s just hanging out there, right on the edge of your peripheral vision….Grey

I think of an irridescent silvery swirling liquid with flecks of all colors. I think the swirling because everything happened so quickly that no one knew what was going on, the irridescent because I was alternated between total numbness interspersed with periods of extreme blinding pain. I didn’t have enough energy to even wonder what was happening to me. At the odd occasions when I was lucid, I just felt like I was slipping away – and I was ready to stop fighting because it hurt so much I didn’t think it was possible to hurt like that and still be conscious. The period from Oct to Early Dec is mostly lost to my memory and I only know bits and pieces and what is in my medical record.

I thought of black right away because of the scariest feelings came up when I realized I couldn’t move and I couldn’t figure out why and that is why Black is the color a, though as things got better I wqould say they are at an turquise as it is a peaceful color to me as I have come to accept my condition and it is at one with me and I am able to get on with life and have a sense of humour and be able to laugh.

Ben said green when I asked him. He didn’t have a reason why.

Shannon

Life was like a stop light or traffic signal.

Yellow caution….I knew something was wrong!

Red…hit like a ton of bricks as everything went downhill and I was on life support. My world had stopped!

GREEN…..Getting better each day…..enjoying the Seasons…..Spring Green was a new beginning for me too…..Summer Grass Green gave me more reasons to get better and continue to bloom! Now Fall….wish the Green leaves would stay on the trees and I did not have to clean them up! Green for the Get up go I miss! Green for the money I wish I got from a paycheck!
Green for all the $$$ that GBS has cost my insurance company over the past year! Green for the color of the Christmas Tree I am going to set up this year! I was in the hospital last year for all the holidays……a friend gave me an Angel and she watched over me. She had a green ribbon around her waist!

GREEN!

Gray/white, for the cold I always feel. Sometimes there are black and red ‘thunder bolts’ for the anger and pain. Thankfully, a rainbow follows the storm 🙂

I posted an answer last week and for some strange reason it disappeared. So
I’ll give you the answer that Frank used to say again.

He said his world turned black the day he was diagnosed.

First thought that came to mind after reading the question. BLACK

Bill

I say grey, as it took me forever to sort out what was real and what all the drugs and sleep wanted to make me think, since I could only lay there paralized for so long.
