About the Author
Life in two countries (Italy and the USA), two marriages, one son, and three academic degrees happened to me before Guillain-Barrè syndrome knocked me down for the count. Writing was part of the healing therapy. I was born in 1947 in Utica, NY, and currently live in Rochester.

This review is from: Up from the Abyss: A journey of personal redemption from the ravages of Guillain-Barrč syndrome (Paperback)
I read this book 19 months after my husband got sick with Gullain-Barre syndrome. He is still trying to rehab. Reading this book helped me to understand that recovery takes longer than you think it should sometime. There is so little information. I was given one page explaining GBS at the onset of this syndrome. One page doesn't cover the months and years that it takes. That is why books written by the patient or family is so important.

This review is from: Up from the Abyss: A journey of personal redemption from the ravages of Guillain-Barrč syndrome (Paperback)
A journey of personal redemption from the ravages of Guillain-Barrè syndrome... I have a good friend who is 68 who on June 13, 2005 learned what had caused him to lose the ability to move. It paralyzed him and it is GBS. I bought this book and 2 others to better understand what he has and how he might progress with his recovery. 4 out of 100,000 people get this GBS and these kinds of books are great to read and the endings are very good to re-read because all 3 books the people fully recovered and that is a blessing. This book is very good for anyone to read. Life is short and there are many bumps in the road... This GBS is a big ass bump that I hope to never encounter again...
