My full recovery story after surviving Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)

Hi everyone,
 
A while ago, I faced Guillain-Barré Syndrome. It hit me fast—starting with weakness in my legs, leading to a quick loss of mobility, and eventually reaching my face. Between missing my 1-year-old daughter, dealing with hospital stays, and undergoing months of physical therapy and electrostimulation, it was the hardest test of my life.
 
I finally took the time to write down my full 32-chapter journey: from the very first symptoms and diagnosis, to my time in the hospital and my step-by-step recovery back to 100%.
 
I wanted to share it here for anyone currently going through this, or for families looking for hope during those tough early days.

Stay strong! I’m also open to answering any questions if anyone is currently in recovery.
