Wow! My sis was diagnosed with the exact same illness after her polio shot at 16. I was 18. She never was able to attend school much after and the doctors in Toronto gave up on her after about 3 years of specialists. We sent her to see a Sweedish doctor doing ozone therapy not allowed in Canada who had a clinic in the Dominican. Saved her life but it was a hard life for her off and on the next 40 years but she got married and raised 3 kids. Now works part time as a special ed support teacher. She does end up in bed for days at a time due to pushing to do too much for others in her life. I salute her courage.
