Man Stricken with Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Michael, 56, has been attempting to learn how to walk again after he was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a very rare disorder. Michael, who did not want to give his last name, got a flu shot before he became ill and says he won’t get another one. But, said Dr. Alvaro Mejia-Echeverry, “We don’t know of cases of Guillain-Barre associated with the vaccine.” Isabelle Stec spoke about her husband’s condition.
