Here's a hug and a prayer for you.
Hug
I'm here if ya need me.....I had it in my early 20's and now I'm 41, walking and happy. I know I had a deep depression and it was one of the hardest things I've ever been through. It took over a year to recover. The last thing to come back was my smile. I had a wheelchair and cane and fell down a lot and had a few relapses, but realized I had a lot of life left to live......now I have a husband a six year old and cherish each and every moment. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi jannah08 - rabbet42 here - I had GBS in October, 2007. Was diagnosed with two tests, the nerve test and lumbar puncture. I had the plasmapheresis five times to get rid of the disease. It is painful but with pain medication and Gods precious help, I survived. I pray that the good Lord does the same for you.

Hi Jannah: My husband Charlie had the plasma....(not sure of spelling) when he was admitted to the intensive care unit. It is like having a blood transfusion. They usually do 8 or 9 consecutive treatments, and it did not look a bit painful. As a matter of fact, he could not even remember having it done. Bonnie

Close Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)
I am 17 years old and have recently been diagnosed with GBS. It started all in a week and gradually became worse. I received treatments and am physical therapy. Over the past few days, it has gotten worse again and I feel like I did when I first got this disease.
Treatments
- IVIG Too Soon to Tell
- I received two days worth of IVIG and it seemed to work for a while. I am thinking that the doctor did not give me enough if I am back to where I was when I first diagnosed.
- Neurontin Somewhat Helpful
- I take 900 mg of this 3 times a day and sometimes it works but lately it doesnt seem to be helping at all.
Close Self-Injury
About 3 years ago, I started cutting myself. Not very much, but then I started carving words onto my legs where no one would see. I have recently stopped cutting but it is a challenge I must face everyday and fight against the urge to cut.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- I have been in therapy ever since I have been found out. It somewhat helps. I guess it would work better if I liked my therapist.
- Rubber Bands Working / Worked
- I pop rubber bands on my wrists when I feel the urge to cut. the sting relieves my stress.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I talk to my friends and they help me to see that I am beautiful and that the scars I have aren't.
