BACKGROUND: I was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) / Miller Fisher Syndrome (MFS) / Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) in April 2014 which I caught from a respiratory virus, which later developed into GBS/MFS/CIDP.
I woke up one morning in early April 2014 and had double vision, photophobia (eyes very sensitive to light) and incredible pain throughout my body (this was the CIDP). This very quickly developed into paralysis down my right side, and I had breathing issues and had trouble swallowing. Eye paralysis followed – it was terrifying.
CIDP, which is sometimes called chronic relapsing polyneuropathy, is caused by damage to the myelin sheath (the fatty covering that wraps around and protects nerve fibres) of the peripheral nerves. My own immune system had basically attacked my nervous system.
It took almost 2 years for me to be able ‘self sufficient’ having had to learn to walk again. My balance is shot and going down stairs is very difficult – even now. I suffer from bouts of acute tiredness if I over do things – I build web sites, and if I have to concentrate quite intensely – sometimes I lose my speech, and feel like my head is going to ‘blow up’.
I found MMS / CDS just 2 weeks ago and in the short time that I have been taking it, my balance has improved 100%, and I feel generally so much better.
In the last 2 weeks I have not lost my speech – which is a MIRACLE.
I know that MFS / GBS / CIDP is rare and I am new to MMS / CDS, but I hope that this short testimony will help others.
