Dr. Phil has never been in your shoes, so he should not have made such a harsh statement.
GBS scares me to no end. I think anyone that has it is a very brave person and I understand why some one would have it done. I really do, I have thought about it many times. There are many great successes and many scary outcomes. Its something that should not be handed out like candy (for lack of a better word). I think doctors are to free with it these days, but thats JMHO. And I'm not saying that any of you should not have had it... no, by no means am I saying it. You all know me and know where I'm coming from. It just takes away from the seriousness of it all.
My friend here at work has had 3 family members undergo GBS. Her brother did fantastic w/it, no problems. Her SIL had it 8 months ago and still can't eat w/out severe stomach pains and they still can't find out why, and then there's her Cousin who died during surgery...sigh.
I hope his show is very informative to folks who are having a hard time understanding it.
HUGS TO YOU !!!
I should have set my vhs to record it DUH!!!!
