One Big Move across the globe later, I'm back. Thank you to everybody who emailed me in the interim. Several of the pages of this website have been revised lately, so please check them out!

Guillain-Barre syndrome is undoubtedly something that can cause massive frustration, hopelessness and anguish, in both patients as well as their families. For Julie and Michael in the UK, GBS also a marital crisis that has yet to be resolved fully [more].

The system tracks slight head movements to move a cursor on the computer screen, allowing the patient to connect to relatives and friends via the internet [more].
UK physiotherapist Patricia plans to walk along the Great Wall of China to mark her china wedding anniversary! Inspired by her patients, among them a GBS patient, Patricia is raising money for the Dorchas Fund, which supports medical research into GBS, provides support, and is hoping to build the first UK carers centre [more].
Swiss Toni began building pedestrian bridges at age 19 to help disaster-stricken poor communities. 18 years and a bad bout of GBS later, he has put up over 265 bridges and improved the lives of over 700,000 people in Latin America and Indochina.
