Thanks for your honest post! I'm still pre-op, but I really need to hear how people like yourself are doing in the real-world. I hope to be there soon enough. Of all of the great information that I have learned on this forum, the most valuable is the realization that GBS is on the body, not the head. I'm trying to analyze those issues before surgery, thanks to honest experiences like yours.
Even though I don't know you, I am so proud of you - you have looked at your recent experiences head on, recongnized them for what they are, admitted and shared them with all of us, and made a decision to change. Man, that's powerful!
I wish you well along this journey - thanks for sharing it with me (us!)
