Waking up was very confusing. Before I was induced into a coma the medical team still had not descovered what I had. so finding out was a shock. I was still tired when u woke up though :-) very drowsy.

I had a lot of visitors and music really helped me relax, keeping a positive out look made it so much easier, I was 100% positive I could get better and knew what I was dealing with so in a way in was easier.

Yeah it was on my mind that's for sure! I made sure I was super healthy as I could be, stress free, and thinking positive :-)

2009 was worse

Thank you it was a huge learning experience for someone of the age I was. I believe GBS can be caused by and any virus or infection so having the flu shot puts you at risk of contracting GBS but so does getting the flu for even a common cold. I don't think GBS Is directly related to the flu shot though but it can be triggered

Thanks you so much, I do not feel sorry, being in hospital so long made me realise there was always someone worse off (with conditions that have no chance of improvement)

I had not had any flu shots or even a flu or any type of illness prior to getting GBS. I may have had a virus I didn't know about. I am also a strong believer of a healthy mind means a healthy body and I was under a lot of stress both times prior to getting GBS.

I now get no vaccinations what so ever.
