    I had Polio in 1954. Stopped working 1999 went on disability. Then, 5 months later I couldn’t stand trying to get up from a chair, my left leg went numb. Then I felt numbness up the right side of my body. I felt the numbness getting worse. My doctor said to go the ER, that I might be having a stroke. I went through all tests and couldn’t get diagnosed. Luckily an ER Resident came in, by which time I was partially paralyzed. He immediately said I had GBS. When the ER Doctors asked why he thought so, he said they just studied GBS in neurology that week. I was hospitalized for weeks, during which time I had an episode of complete paralysis. Couldn’t blink, talk, move a finger - I honestly thought I was dead.
    Because the recovery treatments for Post-Polio & GBS are completely opposite, it was decided that since Post-Polio was degenerative and GBS wasn’t (or so they thought) they opted for Post-Polio therapies combined with occupational therapy for GBS. It took a year just to turn a page in a book. It was like starting from scratch.
    I was incorrectly told that I’ll get better in a few months. Now, 20 years later, I’m suffering with worsening sensory nerve pain from GBS. I use a power wheelchair. GBS is a lonely illness. I never met another person who had GBS. Most people, even nurses and doctors, weren’t familiar with it. I really feel alone, I wind up canceling most events because of fatigue and pain. I get flares of GBS which landed me back in the hospital several times, and many flares were I stayed home.
    Sorry, for this screed, but I found this video on You Tube and I felt I needed to get this off my chest. Thanks.

    I have CIDP and so does my dad (I’m adopted) and neuro said it’s not hereditary but we did both catch a nasty virus 4 years ago and both started going numb and I started dropping things and falling a lot. Took a bunch of tests including blood, EMG and spinal tap to diagnose - IVIG infusions every 2 weeks help but not 100%.
    I hope there is a real cure one day

    My wife has cidp. It only took about 2 years to have a concrete final diagnosis!! It really brings it home watching these videos. We have been in 4 hospitals 4 different rehabs, and finally after going through my wife almost dying we are at a place that only has patients with a trach. Yes that was the only way she was going to live. I didn't want to make that decision so happy my wife did. I think if my wife would have continued treatment we would be out of this place. The Dr did 2 ivig tratments and they stopped. I think they are trying to keep her from coming home. Maybe some day poeple will be watching our video, but for now we r gettn nutn
