    What country are you in? I don't know to much about GBS but it sounds debilitating. Can I ask how old you are?

      I've heard people getting sick from the flu shot. I've always gotten the flu shot. You GBS from the flu shot? I saw this guy on a reality show lose a couple hundred pounds and then he got GBS. I'm sorry you have to go through this. I hope you recover fully. What are the next steps for you?

    I thank you so much about face book so on i went on some lady works gbs foundation going contact me awesome . It is such bad disease every thing in the video was the exact thing . Bing carried by lifts so on . When i was at the one hospital 6 months every one my family thought i was going to die .The were told might happen but i kept waking up here and there briefly then would pass out again . Now since it took them after they admitted me took them another 10 days to do spinal tab . SAME doctor finally chef of staff and doctor tgat kept shooting me out for 10 days admit me finally then another 10 days to do a spinal tap why they take so ling to do this . The point also is that apologize to me came room why because there worried i might sew . They took after two years still barley could not walk took away canada care some guy cane my home said oh u can walk little so u must be able wash your hair so on i said barley hardly could pull my hands over my head . now im still shaking here there during days im still very slow i still have issues with my feet half way up my legs numbness and think its called nerve damage . but my hands still feel tingling now and again . I got sick lots through this time thinking could it been due to life support machine? i read up during my time they had issues i kept getting fluid in my lungs getting sick like 10 times a year gotten lung nasal infections most i worried about lungs cause when i got out the hospital i had gotten blood clot in my right lung do got admitted again two weeks . The rescue team workers had to get me out the apartment cause elevator shut down . The guy was amazing told his team im sorry im staying with her god bless him for helping me . This year again since summer had pnemonia 5 times did broncoloscopy done sucked up mucus plug after that every day been feeling so much better. now i see if your in states u can sew in canada theres law stipulating you can t . SO now waiting to see if i have cidp i tbink pretty much i have it the signs are there . . I am sorry my hands shake lots when i am writing sorry for mistakes . its ammune deficient . i am always getting sick .
