18 months ago I got Guillain Barré Syndrome and 3 months ago I had lumbar spinal fusion. The GBS neuropathy and fatigue is constant. My back pain was gone one month after surgery but then I went and moved to a new apartment and my back has been hurting, almost to the level of pre surgery.

I had anxiety and depression before GBS that has come back. The pain and fatigue make it difficult to focus at work. I constantly wonder how long I will have to live with this pain. When can I have my pre GBS life back? I'm trying to remain optimistic but it's hard. I wish I could take a year off of work (and still get paid lol) and focus on my health. I think I'm going to start going back to a chronic pain support group and stop feeling guilty about leaving work for it.
