 enlightning Nov 30, 2004
By D. C. Simmons
This book really makes you think twice about the care you give to other people, and what kind of care you would recieve if you were in the same position. I couldn't put the book down. I finished it in one day. I cried through most of it. Even I didn't know what all he went through on a daily basis. I am very proud of the strides my DAD has made.

 Could have been much worse off. Aug 07, 2007
By Cory Maddox
I had to go through this as well, and what I would have given to just be paralyzed.
In a way I was, but I was paralyzed from pain. The main effect it had on me was the wrong signals being sent to my brain. The slightest breeze on my skin would make it feel like I was burning alive. The lightest touch of a sheet was like razors. In the end I fully recovered, with much love and support from my family.
I feel pity for anyone else who had to suffer this syndrome also, but it could have been much worse, and for many it was/is.

Guillain-Barre' Syndrome : My Worst Nightmare Sep 04, 2005
By Brian Boedicker
"Brian Boedicker"
Byron Comp did a very good thing sharing his experience dealing with Gillian Barre. This book helped me to better understand what a good friend and a wonderful person is going through. He found out he has GBS just this year in June. He has been in the hospital for about 10 days and 70 days so far in the rehab hospital. He is still paralyzed but gaining a little ground each week. The last parts of the book are great it is good to understand the recovery part of this illness and that 95% of the people do recover. This book is a good read for anyone and it does give you a dose of appreciate what we have and we are all truly blessed. Someone out there is always having a worse day than we are having on our worst day... Nice job Byron and thanks.

My opinion... Mar 21, 2006
By K. M. Richute
"Avid reader"
As a survivor of Guillain Barre Syndrome, I personally did not care for this book. I realize that everyone is different, and perhaps I should pen my own account. My case was much worse than the author's, which may account for my disgruntle attitude. Sorry.
