Title: Iseem to have them .....
Post by: msme on Dec 10, 2004, 04:30:09 PM
baffeled. Nobody seems to know quite what is wrong but I am in the rehab & am definitely too young to feel this old. LOL I took a nice swim in a pool that was wammer than a bathtub. That felt good but don't know that it did anything. Now I have distinct double vision & often feel confused, having trouble folowing a train of  thought. Don't tell gr8Dad. He will say that nothing is different. LOL  Feeling very week & just kinda yucky. Guess they will do some more tests.
Lone & God bless you all

Would lovew to hear from anyone who would like to write. The days are long & it gets lonely here.

Hi, I hadnt met you yet....(on here).....But, I wanted to say - my maiden name was barker......not a common name around here (VA)

Hope the docs find what is wrong and have you back on your feet soon!

My dh became very ill just weeks after we married back in July.  At first we thought he had a stroke.  He went from healthy to bedridden in four days.  It was scary and devastating.  They diagnosed him with Guillaine-Barre six days after it began, and started treatments.  He walked out of hospital a week later!

Best wishes.

Stay positive, and feel secure knowing that you have good doctors, and a lot of prayers coming your way.  I'm sure that you and your doctors have gone through your family health history with a fine toothed comb.  Have you perhaps been exposed to any chemicals at work?  At this point, anything is worth considering.

Please keep us updated :)

I will ask him about GBS on Monday, when he comes in. The only new info that I have been able to get is that for some reason, my blood protien is low so they are giving me protein suppliments. Also they said my blood albumen is low. Don't know what that means. Oh well, I guess I will continue to be a puzzle. lOL
