What you do not know if you do not have Guillain-Barré Syndrome or one of its variants

Below is going to be an ever growing list of links to blogs and videos that give some insight into what it's like to live through Guillain-Barré syndrome and its variants. If you have something you'd like to add to the list, leave it in the comments.

I'll start with my blog.  It started as a blog about running, then a blog about being a stay-at-home dad and running. Now, it's about life with the evil cousin of Guillain-Barré, acute motor axonal neuropathy. What you do not know because you are not me.

This is a link to the official list of patient stories from the GBS/CIDP foundation

Go to the mighty.com and search for GBS. Or just go here

My life with CIDP
Don't mistake my lack of strength with weakness! I was diagnosed with CIDP in 2005 and it's been a rough road for both me & my family & friends. I hope this blog helps others that have been diagnosed with CIDP or it's annoying little cousin GBS. With a lot of love and support we can learn to live again!

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
My journey with CIDP. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. A mouthful, isn't it? CIDP and GBS are two sides of a coin. GBS being Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Comment from others, others with or without either disease or one similar, would be appreciated.


Wendy's STEM CELL TRANSPLANT FOR CIDP
I'm writing this to tell people about my history of CIDP and my Stem Cell Transplant! I also want people to hear how God has worked in my life to get me ready for this challenge and is going to use this for His glory. I am hoping to get this wonderful procedure out there to the public more so it can help more people. The facility where I am having this done is Northwestern Univ Hospital in Chicago IL. Dr Richard Burt has been doing SCT for 23 auto immune diseases for over 20 years.

Joe Beernink
Just over three years ago, I wrote a blog entry chronicling my first three days with Guillain Barré Syndrome. In it, I wrote that recovery times vary from 3 weeks to 3 years. I obviously didn’t heal in three weeks. My process took much longer. At the three year mark, however, I can say that my recovery is pretty much done.
