My fight with GILLIAN bare

I have Gillian barre syndrome and it all started last November i was working  2 jobs i started passing out at work so my daddy comes and gets me and sits with me at the er. but they couldn\"t find nothing wrong with me. i was admitted eight times in a month. the nurse practitioner called me and drug addict. my mother said something is wrong with my baby and if ya\"ll can\"t find out what is wrong with her get her somewhere who can. i had already lost 75 pounds in a month, then i had gastritis in my stomach, then i had my gallbladder removed because it was not working, and they gave me a flu shot why i was still in the hospital and i was still sick.

it took a neurologist to find out what i had so in order to do that he had to do a lumber puncture he wanted my mom to step out i said you are not doing it unless she stays. she stayed and talked to me whole time. the next thing i knew i was on my way to UAB hospital on iron bowl weekend. there i tooked  the ivig treatment. i stayed from iron bowl weekend till the end of November then on December the fifth i was moved to Spain rehab and stayed till new years day. but i had a good 3 weeks of therapy. so when i lefted  my doctor who took care of me while i was down there said i recover better at home. they had parties for the patients and let us watch movies. when i got home i made it my birthday and i was back in Birmingham because i was sick. get back home i shortly lost my best friend patches Marie she was such a wonderful dog. i still have part of her in 2 of her puppies Moses and Lucy. i was taking therapy at home in April and still am in may.  Now here i am today i can now stand again, got my disability and i had my family, church family, friends, and of course the lord i call god. most people don\"t know this but Andy Griffith had what i have. usually people who have gastritis gets  guillain barre. most doctors say i was one of the lucky ones because i didn\"t have to have a trek and i didn\"t loose my lung function.

i am  going to close with this the whole time i was in Birmingham there was a special song that a friend of mine wrote called god alone. it got me through the days and my mom and god was with me the whole time. now that i am home and standing again i hurt worst and still bad tingling. but i am truly grateful to be alive. now i am back  in church again and still recovering. also it most who have it gets over it and its reversible. there is a great recover rate.

praise god praise god.
