3 months post-GBS (AMAN variant) — making physical progress, but looking for chat/Discord buddies

Hey everyone,

​I’m currently at the 3-month mark of my GBS recovery (AMAN variant). My physical progress is coming along—I've been working hard on quad strength, seated knee extensions, and recently got my forearm lifting off the table again!

​That said, resting in bed/a chair all day gets extremely boring, and passive entertainment like movies and reading can only do so much. I’m really looking to connect with fellow GBS survivors or anyone in rehab/recovery who wants to chat, hang out on Discord, or just trade recovery updates and banter.

​If you’re at a similar stage, have been through this, or just want a casual chat/voice call buddy to pass the time with, feel free to drop a comment or send me a DM. Keep fighting, everyone!

Is my recovery going well?

Aman variant. I have got it for the second time after 9 years I recovered completely in in the first time. This time I got a very senior case I was paralyzed From the neck to my Feet. It also affected my breathing my swallowing also I had facial paralysis. This all happened 3 months ago.

Current progress: My swallowing breathing and my facial paralysis is back to normal I can sit for hours without any support I have gained significant trunk control back strength And core strength.

I can sway my arms , But there is no moment in the wrist it is completely dropped. I can move my fingers a bit But not like extend them. I can squeeze all my muscles in my leg like my thigh muscles but if I squeeze it for too long then they start to tremble. There is no antigravity That is with respect to my legs I cannot lift them up or move at all but then they are hanging on the edge of the bed then I can sway them from side to side.

I did not lose any Sensation Neither do I have any nerve pain or any fatigue So I just also wanted to know that is the nerve pain Universal. If I'm not having enough pain then does does it mean that I'm not recovering well?

Please advice

Can immunoglobin Help speed up the recovery process in aman variant After the first initial dose?

I got the Aman variant And was given immunoglobin I was basically paralyzed below the neck Now after recovering my breath and my swallowing part and also some flicker moment I have not shown any anti-gravity movement for the last one one and a half month. The doctor say that my recovery is Slow compared to my age And some doctors suggested that I have an another dose of Ig. And that another dose can speed up the process. But what I know is That this helps In spreading the further damage but if I'm having recovery and it has somewhat being slow I don't know how will an another dose help me speed up the process.
