5.0 out of 5 stars enlightning, November 30, 2004
By 
This review is from: Guillain-Barre' Syndrome: My Worst Nightmare (Paperback)
This book really makes you think twice about the care you give to other people, and what kind of care you would recieve if you were in the same position. I couldn't put the book down. I finished it in one day. I cried through most of it. Even I didn't know what all he went through on a daily basis. I am very proud of the strides my DAD has made.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been much worse off., August 7, 2007
By 
Cory Maddox (Fresno, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Guillain-Barre' Syndrome: My Worst Nightmare (Paperback)
I had to go through this as well, and what I would have given to just be paralyzed.

In a way I was, but I was paralyzed from pain. The main effect it had on me was the wrong signals being sent to my brain. The slightest breeze on my skin would make it feel like I was burning alive. The lightest touch of a sheet was like razors. In the end I fully recovered, with much love and support from my family.

I feel pity for anyone else who had to suffer this syndrome also, but it could have been much worse, and for many it was/is.
