I was diagnosed with GBS in 1985, I was completely paralyzed except for my trunk, I was wheel chair and bed bound two years. I could not feed or bath my self, I had severe depression, I was on massive doses of prednisone I gained 100 lbs. from the steroids. I now suffer residual effects from GBS, upper arm strength none, upper thigh strength none, I suffer now with RA, Sjögren's syndrome and Fibromyalgia. Autoimmune disease is horrible, it's robbed me of everything
