Rehabilitation

Is everybody in the group going to rehabilitation? Know how I would like to know how often you go and what type of equipment you are using.

Hi there. My mother is still in Medical ICU, completely paralized and on full life support. It is nearly 4 months now. … but, she will have to go for rehabilitation once she gets better.

She has GBS and Miller Fisher variant

I am going to Physical Therapy one to two times a week. My Physical Therapist helps stretch me out because I get so tight through my body and spine and it causes me to have random pains and numbness in different areas. I originally started out by walking in a pool to strengthen my core when all of this first hit me. She had me walking backwards and forwards then doing some serpentine walking in the pool backwards and forwards. Did some easy recumbent bike at first too. She had me stretching over a Yoga ball and using some pressure point balls to hit the tight areas in my legs and back. Now I am working out by rotating swimming, jogging, biking, lifting small weights, and using the elliptical. I find that I get tight pretty easy now after doing more activity. Stretching really helps me. I can tell when I've overdone it because those nerves in my body quiver more at night and I have more muscle twitching especially in my calves. I seem so prone to injury now. Heat really exacerbates my symptoms too. But thankfully overall I am getting stronger and better after this relapse. I'm so thankful for that. It will be a year for me in June. Long year!!
