For the person hit by it, it's war and revolution wrapped in one: A catastrophe, an upheaval, a devastating blow.But also an invaluable experience and a possibility for renewal.I wouldn't be what I am now, a man at peace with himself and the world, had I not come down with, and fought back from, this terrible ailment. But I don't want to sound excessive. It isn't terminal cancer at young age, or trauma-induced coma and vegetative state; but, as Joseph Heller said, it's no laughing matter, either. The blessing about Guillain-Barr syndrome-and I mean that with only a little bit of irony-is that it doesn't affect the gray matter upstairs. You know it's bad, but you also know it can be defeated, and the struggle to overcome it lends a tremendous meaning of truthfulness to the old saying: \"That which does not kill you \" You know the rest. It can paralyze you completely, and, occasionally, do you in, but the road back or, as I imply in my title, the uphill struggle from the abyss is Herculean and character forming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51951461368096,"sku":"NEW0595363024","price":13.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/up-from-the-abyss-a-journey-of-personal-redemption-from-the-ravages-of-guillain-barr-syndrome-0595363024","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
