Dave — so sorry to hear about your problems with GBS and glad you are free of severe symptoms now although it sounds like it is still ongoing. Life is a crap shoot and you never know what’s around the corner.
Thanks for your concern and kind words.
The Spanish Flu in the early 1900’s during WWI took the life of my Dad’s older brother, who basically raised my Dad and his wife,leaving a young orphan girl, their daughter.
My Dad had been seriously injured in an WWI Army training accident, while he was in an state side Army hospital. His brother and SIL visited him.
About a week later, they had the Spanish Flu and died shortly after its onset. They were in their late 20’s.
My Dad apparently had a light case of the Spanish flu and mild GBS that left him with basically the same symptoms I had/have.
Flu and its after effects can be deadly with the old and even the young healthy ones like my Dad’s brother and SIL.
