I had GBS on June'2009. I was paralyzed totally. I only could breathe. After two months I started to walk. I felt better in every week and after the third month I drove a car. I started to run even play soccer, but the running and soccer were so hard.

Good luck to every GBS's patient.

My father has this right now. Its his first week in. Actually at the hospital now (5:11 am) tending to him, making sure to suck his saliva with a tube (had problems with fluid in his lungs). So me, my sisters and my mom are taking turns staying awake making sure hes comfortable. Best tip i have is patience. Its hard to communicate since he cant speak so they will get frustrated. Do your best to comfort them

Dont dispare I've had GBS four times during my live, the second time I was in an oxygen tent. Whilst at the time you feel there is little hope and think you are the only one in the world going through this ordeal you will get though it. You must stay strong, have faith, keep the hope that another day brings better outcomes. I am 52 now and continue to have a rewarding working life.even though GBS gave me epilepisy which was removed through Brain surgery recently. I never gave up. regards BSH

@slamslambam i have cidp too, if 'god chooses us' then he's the biggest cunt ever. i started getting pins & needles in april 2008 and by september i could hardly walk, and i couldn't put one foot infront of the other to run. i had half-days at school because i was too weak and then i stopped going to school altogether in november 2008. i remember this religious guy seeing me in hospital and he prayed for me- i made a recovery and now here i am going into relapse. if god exists he's an twat

Guillain-Barré syndrome also known as Toxic Vaccine Syndrome as a result of squalene adjuvant in vaccines which are very similar to oils in our own body. When the squalene is beaten by our defenses they turn on our own bodies. A swine flu vaccine in the USA in 1976-1977 cause thousands of people to be paralysed some recovered some didnt. Was Jonathan vaccinated before he got GBS.

GBS paralyzed me from the neck down in 2008, with the numbness ascending to the eyebrows. I had no tingling at first but a weak right leg, then left leg, then right hand. Do not do as the young man in the video and I did and sleep on it because it doesn't hurt. It soon will and you can die if it paralyzes your diaphram. Thankfully I had an excellent recovery and no loss of vision, though some hearing and only residual symptoms in the hands and right foot. Early treatment will help.
