Hi Anthony! First I'd like to say a big thank you for doing this AMA. Circa Survive has been one of my favourite bands for the past 6 years.

My question is do you ever get tired of playing songs from Juturna and On Letting Go, or do you still get as into playing them as ever?

side note: If at some point Circa Survive would do a few tour stops in Canada, I would cry with happiness.

I doubt it was GBS. I was hospitalized for GBS in 2012, and while a lot of your symptoms are similar to what I went through they don't quite line up. The weakness (combined with loss of sensation) generally starts in your extremities and the last thing to go is your diaphragm muscles which requires intubation. By the time you require intubation you would be unable to sit up like you were in one of your photos. Also they would have done a spinal tap and tested your nerves by shocking them (which fucking sucks by the way).

Glad you're doing better though! I hope they figure out the cause soon. Learning how to walk again is the worst, but once you're independent again isn't it the best feeling?
