    • Open Families of Prisoners

      My nephew and I are more like mom and son, or best friends? While I was in the hospital he was arrested and is serving a 7 year sentence. I am so disappointed in his family. His mom and dad don't do a thing to help him. I buy his food baskets twice a year, I let him call once a week. But I am tired.The family knows I'll do it and sometime I think he expects it too. He has a real chip on his shoulders, as far as people writing him etc. I try to write once a week. I am doing this alone.

      Treatments

      Writing Not Working
      does not help
    • Open Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)

      I was diagnosised with this at one point.

      It happened after surgery. I quickly lost the use of my legs. Spent 19 months in the hospital
      Neurontin Somewhat Helpful
      no longer use a walker but at times when walking I walk more to one side. My feet are still somewhat numb. I cant describe it all.
