GBS

While I was out of class on Monday, May 15th, I still learned a lot about Guillain-Barre Syndrome. I think it is such an interesting disorder. It amazes me that someone can begin with symptoms of weakness and then can become paralyzed, only to potentially recover from the illness. The group I was assigned to for the case study was on a man named Joseph Heller, who was born in 1923. He was a writer and a traveler. He was writing his 4th book and started having trouble swallowing and difficulty raising his arms and legs. He ignored the symptoms until worsened and he went to the doctor where he was diagnosed with GBS.

Me Before You

I chose this movie for my first Neuro note because I loved it the first time I saw it. Before this movie came out, I read the book in two days. Needless to say, I saw it the night it came out in theaters. As I watched it a second time, I was more interested in the therapeutic side of the movie since we just recently learned a lot about SCI’s.

She inspired me throughout the movie to stay positive, and to do everything I can to help my client live the life they want to. This movie also did a great job of showing the side effects someone with a SCI can experience, such as pain, secondary health problems, and trying to adjust to the overall lack of independence....

ALS

We have been learning about ALS in our Neurological Aspects class, and this disease has interested (and honestly, terrified) me more than any other. I think it's hard to believe that something like ALS can happen to the body. My dad is a contractor and my mom is a real estate agent. Last year they built a house for a couple in their 50's, and the woman had just been diagnosed with ALS so they needed a very accessible home. When they began building the house the woman was able to walk and talk, but by the time they moved into the house she was using a wheelchair and was having major respiratory issues. She communicated with an eye gaze, and talked about how terrifying it was to be trapped in her own body with her mind still intact. She talked about her respiratory issues and how she would try to take a breath but her lungs sometimes would do nothing. She said it felt like she was suffocating so much of the time. Unfortunately, she passed away only a few months later. This disea...
