I can understand your Depression, having to deal with recovery from as rare and serious a condition as Guillanne-Barre Syndrome. Did you ever get a dx as to the cause of your infection?

I have read up on Prognosis, and it does depend on so many factors relating to the severity of the original illness, but I am hoping you are in the category that will see a marked improvement between 6 and 12 months.

In the meantime, do see your GP regarding possible treatments - Therapy, meds or a combination - and come here for immediate support and advice.
