Too bad but you can’t expect to live very long weighing as much as he does.

“Too bad but you can’t expect to live very long weighing as much as he does.”

Guillain-Barre is an immune response to a viral infection, you body’s immune system attacks the nerves. It’s similar in effect to polio, but most of the ill effects are not permanent for the majority of folks who come down with it. In my case I had an upper respiratory infection and a couple of weeks later came down with GBS. I was in good health otherwise and not overweight by any means.

GBS got a lot of attention in the late 70s some people who received the swine flu shots came down with it in reaction to the vaccine. Inspite of the fact the resulting paralysis is often described as temporary, it’s a very serious illness. I was quadraplegic for about 3 months and had to undergo months of physical therapy to get back to a near normal state.
