I wanted to thank the people who responded to my cry of help in December. My Mum became very weak in a matter of a couple of weeks in December 08 to the point of being paralyzed and we didn't know what to do. We got some advise regarding her medication and got her GP to check it out. We were told her body was shutting down and this was the end of the road..... No No No not yet was our reply, so we took it into our own hands to stop all Mum's med's, we syringed Ensure liquid into her mouth every time her eye's opend and paid for a physio to come in and move her limbs as she was starting to look like a Jelly Fish. Me and my sisters worked 24hrs for 4 months with constantly moving her, sitting her up at all hours of the day and night, shaking her when her breathing stopped and today my Mum is now more aware of her surroundings, she is walking ,reading having eye contact and even a sense of humour. We got a specialist to see her when after 2 months she started to pick her head up and they did tests and they came to the conclusion Mum had Guillain-Barre Syndrome. I just want people to know that GP's are not alway's right and go with your own instincts.
