A pharmacist in New Zealand has detailed her terrifying month-long ordeal when she was “locked-in” her own body, unable to respond to doctors or concerned family members. Her doctor allegedly told her that her worsening symptoms could be stress-related, but when her legs became weak and she began having chest pain, her mom called for an ambulance, Media Drum World reported. It then spreads to the upper arms and body in either a matter of weeks or even hours. It remains rare in the U.S., with about 1 in 100,000 people affected by GBS in their lifetime, according to the CDC. But the common theme is that my recovery will take a long time,” she told Media Drum World.
