I was i Thailand in 2013. In the last week of my holiday I lost the use of my left leg for no reason. I went to hospital and nothing could be found. In the following week the symptoms got worse with pains in my back and arms. and I lost the use of my right hand. I went back to hospital and still was told nothing could be found to be wrong;. I was given a pain killing injection at a cost of 3000 Baht. It made no difference to the pain. I managed to get a flight back home the following day to the UK. By the time I arrived I could not walk and got assistance to the train station. The following day I was taken to a UK hospital were various tents were made with no visible results. After two weeks in hospital It was confirmed I had Guillain Barre Syndrome an autoimmune disease, A very rare disease. I would say from my own experience this man has the same complaint and needs treatment. He may need a long treatment but is in most cases, curable although may be left with some disability. A message to his wife tell the doctors to look at Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS)
