Treatment Suggestions

Post a new topicby slwebber on Sun Jan 25, 2009 8:45 pm

Hi All,

I have GBS, but was not diagnosed until 10 months after coming down with it. I am now much better, though still don't have my strength back to anywhere close to 100%.

I realize that I am SO FORTUNATE to be where I am because most people have a MUCH worse case. I am just frustrated. It's been over a year now and am still unable to work full-time. I am trying to make the most of it, and will be making a career change as a result of it.

Back to my question, has anyone had any success with any treatment? Has anything helped you regain your strength?

Thank you so much for your help. I am so grateful to have found this site!!
