Hi and Im so sorry to read your story, I know it is hard and I walk woman through this few years ago, her husband did not make it through, his body gave up she was pregnant. He was diagnosed with GBS after all kind of other treatment, his body shut down one organ after other. I saw him once and he got angry he could not talk he was paralyzed all over from head to toe. I know it is not what you wanted to hear or read, I try to fight with this women to get him more treatment but the doctors said it was all done and there was no change he would come back. But I say always if there is live then it is change, we have seen lot of miracles here so dont give up sometimes the unthinkable can happen. lots of xoxoxxox Helga from Iceland

I got my GBS nov. 2006 and got very bad double vision, It got better but last time I check with my eyedoc he told me if this dont get better I might undergo some surgery to fix some nerves that dont do as my head tell them to do. I cross my finger that I dont need it, I have to be very good in keeping me not over doing things then my eyesight is in better shape.

same here, Im fighting the weight gain, most came when I started to walk again, but Im dieabetic too and they have been trying out so many meds I cant even say all the meds I have tryed and all ended with me gaining more weight, even though they numers say most people lose weight, but we had GBS and how many can say that, so we are are the rare people that dont respond like others that for sure :))) now Im only on insulin and wola.. Im losing weight :))) but the doc sad I would gain it 😀

Here in Iceland I know of one person that is 98%-100% recover so yes it is possible to get good health after this. I have not this story from my GBS, and truly I think that is something that have made me a better person, and I have learn to cope with lot of stuff that would had me mad before I got my GBS. My doctor´s promise 100% recover at the time I was in hospital. today they say you are a miracle we never expected to see you stand up from the wheelchair. Why they say this today but not when I was sick, I think it is because hope give you strength to fight back the symptoms. I say it is all based on what we think and what we are going to do. I’m still fighting and I will not give up, I work some days are good others are bad. but what a heck life is worth living and we have so much to live for.

wow how I understand about the dammm chicken, I only eat it when I make it my self and it is so well cook that the bones fall out when I take it from the oven :))))) that is my biggest fear of all that is geting this damm bacteria again.
But Im struggling with the smoking, I love to quit but that couse me to use other meds to help me breath, I know now you put upp bigg ? mark.
I stoped smoking many years ago, ended in hospital for 3 months using only 25% of my lungs. I have alergy for all kinds of dust, so when I stop smoking I need to cover my lungs with meds that keep my lungs dust free :)))) this is so stupied when I see this on paper but my doc say he cant aske me to stop for he know that I enjoy my meds now but the other one is just horrible to put into my lungs.

I think every one need to take this decision for him self. I was told by my doctor that it was me that had the final over if I took the shot. I did take it and I think that was right for me. I have also diabet so it was bigg risk to have the swine flu for me.
