I had Gillian Barre Syndrome and it sucked. Had the Miller’s Fisher Variation. I could not wipe my arse after taking a shite...could not get my arms up over my head...hold a fork to eat...had Bells Palsy with it.
I got it from having the flu...you can get it from flu shots and your body is run down from illness, the body starts attacking you nerves and muscles thinking it is attacking a virus.

Spent 4 days in the hospital getting $150,000 a bag of plasma IV pumped in my body. Took me 3 weeks, but I was back in the pool training with my swims slowly. The neurologists said because I was a swimmer and the caught it in time, I was able to recover well.
