Children with Guillain-Barré Syndrome

Children with Guillain-Barré Syndrome

I was just five years old when I was diagnosed with GBS. It all started when I began falling and not being able to walk properly. I was an active five-year-old so my parents knew right away something wasn’t right. I was later taken into the hospital and a few days later diagnosed with GBS. As a five-year-old, it was hard to see my parents scared and worried about me.
