"This was among the most severe cases ... I have ever seen." 

Unfortunately, this disease took my best friend's life last year, January 11th, 2017. She recovered from her first bout with it, but It came back 2 years later, and stopped her heart while she was sleeping. I miss her everyday, and just wish I could hug her one more time.

I love how attentive the father is. He really cares to listen and give her space to talk. Great patents

As a nurse I can say that the patients who had someone there telling them what to expect and that someone will be there to help them showed much less fear of the process and healed the quickest. This little girl had a strong spiritual belief and patient parents and that’s a great recovery team.

Wow, this beautiful girl is a real warrior and so intelligent. She has such a fantastic spirit, and her determination is admirable!

My daughter woke up with this dreaded disease as a single mother of 3 at the age of 40 about 10 years ago. It developed into Chronic Inflammatory Demylenating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), which is the chronic form of GBS. She is in constant pain 24/7 and is unable to walk or care for her self. She has had plasmapheresis a few times and gets the IVIG every 3 weeks. The treatments no longer give her much relief. It is gut wrenching to see her live in this horror…I feel so helpless. I’m raising her teenage son now, her 2 daughters have now grown and are on their own. Prayers to anyone affected with this horrible autoimmune disease🙏🏻🙏🏻

My mom suffered from GBS and she too almost passed away. Today she still suffers from its after affect. She was completely paralyzed and she was a heavier woman and she lost so much weight she looked like a skeleton. It was very traumatic. She suffers from neuropathy and can walk but not very well now. She can’t walk far. It’s debilitating and it’s so sad to see her be so frustrated. 🥺 but she is a SURVIVOR!

Had a good friend who woke up one morning in college and could move any part of his body...no one could fathom this same same outcome as Guillaume Barre, he recovered completely after a couple of years. He graduated college and went on to become a Sr. Facilitator in a very prestigious hospital. Hopefully this young girl will continue to be well and achieve her life long goals.

My father was diagnosed with GBS in 1973 . He also had complete paralysis.. this was back before plasmapherisis and IVIG. I am so glad your daughter made a complete recovery.

My mom had this at 76. After months she was able to return home. She was so paralyzed she couldn't even close her eyes. They had to tape them closed because she was getting an ulcer. I thank the Lord she recovered. It was a miracle I believe at her age.

I love the way they’re casually just eating popcorn during an interview🤣😹🤦‍♀️

What a remarkable healing and miracle. A strong girl that most of us would have gave up.

It's a scary disease, I had it when I was 63. I was praying without words, asking God to help me recover or take me on home. I could breathe on my own, but nothing else. After the treatments started and I could talk again I kept praying. I am mostly recovered, but not entirely. It has been 4 years and I still have trouble walking very far. I am grateful for the recovery I have. I feel for this young girl and her determination to get better quickly.

I had this same illness 11 years ago and it robbed me of my life. I was training to be a nurse and had to drop the program. It took me down 3 times, it cost me a whole lot, I still have daily nerve pain and flare ups of the muscle spasms. The most frightening thing to me was how I was going to be the best mom to my 4 small children. My youngest was only 4 years old and my son has no memories of me before the nursing home experience 😢. Praise God I'm still going 🙌 your a brave young lady

My husband was diagnosed with GBS four years ago - he went from a strong construction worker to barely walking within a few days of the first signs of his illness. It's a scary thing because you NEVER know what's going to happen with GBS - every one who has had this disease gets it on different levels. I am so glad this courageous young lady is able to tell her story and heal. I wish her all the best!

My daughter Kayti also has GBS. It is such an awful thing to watch your child go through. When all she could move were her eyeballs...man that was terrifying. Thank God and mesicine for IVIG. Her flare-ups come and go as quickly now as they did the first time. Luckily she has only had 2 more hospital stays since her diagnosis 9 years ago. Sending your Katie lots of love! She is a fighter like my Kayti.❤

I wish we had an update. You’re a warrior Katie❤

The same thing happened to me in 1993. I was 10 years old. I lost complet use of my legs! Took me almost a year to start moving my toes then ankles on up. Lots n lots of therapy. I still use a wheelchair everyday of my life. It's all how your outlook is on life will depend on how you deal n get better. I'm soo happy you were able to get better!!

I am so happy to see how awesome you are doing now. My son is 32 he had just about the degree of GB at the age of 4. It is so rare and was more rare even then that they first said polio. Of coarse after a spinal tap they corrected themselves and flew in a specialist. I am very very happy you have awesome diligent parents that insisted on the best care and answers. Our prayers stay with your family.

PRAISE GOD!! I AM SOOOO THANKFUL!! WHAT A REMARKABLE YOUNG LADY❤❤❤

I got GBS on 2014 when I was 54. Luckily it was quite mild but still bad enough. To date I still have muscle fatigue, foot & hand pain but I am mostly back to normal. I was only 1 of 8 in NZ to get it that year. It’s amazing how little people know of this syndrome. Best wishes to all fellow survivors 👍
