Ok,not really a sheriff but new GBS patient. started PT today and not happy with how little I can do. But reading this I realize how well off i am kind of a weird situation the ER docs were well versed with the problem and caught it quickly. Never went on respirator but last 1/4 to 1/2 of my lung capasity. Well arms and hands are wearing out thanks for the area to vent.:rolleyes:

Welcome! The good news is that every day or two you will find you can do more. It comes back slowly, but it does come back with time and therapy. Listen to the therapists. The times I had the most trouble were when I was lazy or rebellious. When I listened and did what they said, I made progress.

dane,
swimming is one of the best exercises to help the diaphram recover. you must recover from any pt in 12 to 18 hours or it is too much. take care. be well.
