Personality changes post illness?

This whole gbs/cidp experience was like a Dante’s Inferno experience for me. I actually got a very bad feeling off and on for several weeks before I got “clobbered” physically by the disease. Like doom approaching.
Now 14 months post, I feel mentally reinvigorated, but I can barely walk a mile.
It sounds crazy, but I am actually glad I went thru this. I was kind of mentally walking down the wrong path, and now I’ve “found my way again” type of thing?Just curious if any one else had any epiphanies with their illness?

I would say that this disease has made me rethink life in general, who I am, and my priorities. Since getting sick my mantra has been to life for today and fight for tomorrow. Prior to getting ill I would always be looking into the future which I do much, much less. I now take it minute by minute and day by day. I appreciate the small things much more and don’t worry about what the future holds. So I guess I would say this has been an epiphany for me as well.

I have to admit my wife popped my bubble stating that cancer survivors go thru something similar?
