Jim's condition

Year Condition Began: 2018


My wife and I went to a restaurant and the next morning I experienced stomach aches. I started to vomit and had what I called "biblical diarrhea". After the entire day of the diarrhea, my wife called our doctor. He said go immediately to the emergency room at the Menifee hospital. I was eventually admitted into a low pressure cool room and tested and observed. I had a spinal tap, two CT's and several other bio tests. I was administered 5-courses of gamma globulin (GBIV)-(each was 5-hours long). It then was confirmed that yes I did have GBS. At this point I could not raise my head or arms very high.
After a PT doctor visited me I was able to turn to sit up. Up to that point I could not do it. I now have completed 7-sessions with the PT crew in Sun City. And can walk and do most tasks except use my arms correctly stand with my eyes closed. I'm getting better very fast but feel I need someone to assist me in getting back to "normal".
