Rock Star: My Triumph over Guillian Barre Syndrome

by Dave Barrett

I was a middle-aged Catholic Priest wondering if I made a difference in the lives of those around me. My health was in pretty good shape except for the extra weight I was carrying around. Life was basically uneventful as I went about my daily life as a priest. The summer had a slower pace and I was able to take a car trip to Nashville to attend a conference and retreat. I came back very tired, but little did I know I was about to be tested physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Guillain-Barre Syndrome is rare; typically about 2 in 10,000 a year. The disease is named after the two French doctors who were able to document a trying condition that often fools many medical professionals.

Learned and felt a lot

I chose to read this book because I have a good friend in the care center with Gullian Barre Syndrome. This book has given me a deeper insight as to the long journey, both emotionally, physically and spiritually that my friend has through towards her own healing.

The book was a pretty superficial treatment of the disease Guillian barre syndrome. I dilearn anything I didn’t already know but it was meant to be more of a memoir of this man quick recovery from GBS.
