Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) Support Group
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), is an acquired immune-mediated inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nervous system (i.e. not the brain or spinal cord). It is suggested that it is an autoimmune disease, in which the sufferer's immune system is triggered into damaging the nerve covering. Many cases developed in people who received the 1976 swine flu vaccine.
Virtual Road Trip Everyones Invited!
Not many of us can get out like we used to, but theres more than one way to see the world! Wouldnt it be cool to take a virtual road trip together?
Heres the idea:
Ill be your virtual driver and everyone who wants to travel along, please just add me as your friend, so that youll be able to receive updates, as well as view the pictures & videos from our journey online.
For anyone whod like to add their hometown or a special place theyve visited in the past to the itinerary, please email me (virtual_driver@cfl.rr.com) your digital photos and videos, along with some narrative about what well be seeing when we get there! Ill upload your photos and post your words in the trip log (virtual_drivers journal) daily.
There are NO requirements for participation. You can ride quietly or add to the chatter on our pimped-out virtual tour bus (check out the photos!) by sending in hugs. People from discussion boards other than the chronic pain board are more than welcome to participate, as well.
And as the reality we travel in is virtual, all you need to bring along is a little imagination. I hope all of you will join in the fun. It could make for a rather pleasant diversion (especially since the virtual pharmacy will be overflowing with narcotics!)
Tuesday will be our first day on the road, and if Ive not received any destinations by then, I guess Ill have to drag you all along to one of my favorite places, Rio de Janeiro. (Yes, the tour bus can fly how else could I have picked up Sarky Cow already?)
Sincerely,
Your humble virtual co-driver (aka kimxs1)
