A search engine entitled

GoodSearch and it is 100% legit.
GoodSearch.com is a Yahoo-powered search engine, with a unique social mission… every time you use GoodSearch.com, money is generated for our cause. GoodSearch donates half its revenue, about a penny per search to charities. Now you might think what difference is a penny going to make? Well if 1,000 supporters searched just twice a day, we would receive an estimated $7,300 per year. Remember GoodSearch is powered by Yahoo so you get the same proven, high-quality results. To take advantage of this opportunity go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter GBS/CIDP Foundation International as the charity you want to support. The more people who use this site, the more money we will receive, so please spread the word. Once you set GBS/CIDP Foundation as your default charity all you need to do is get the GoodSearch toolbar for your browser. Thank you in advance for taking a second to set this up and help us in continuing to make a difference. |

of the Month August 2009 |

Life was pretty normal until I was diagnosed with GBS in January or 2005. I fell walking in our house and couldn’t get up as I was too weak. My doctor was out of town but the doctor on call diagnosed me with GBS. He told me that I needed to get to ICU as I would need the help of a respirator. Within 48 hours I was on a respirator. I soon was placed on a ventilator for 3 months, as well as having a feeding tube and central line. I received two bags of IVIG to help slow it down. It went from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head, totally paralyzing me for 5 months. I spent 7 weeks in rehab, and 7 months out-patient therapy. The therapy was grueling but it paid off as I am walking, driving, and doing most everything that I used to do. This is with the help of a walking stick as I have drop foot in both feet which hurt each day with electrical shocks going through my toes and feet. I get tired easily but continue to praise God for His healing in my body as I am a walking miracle. As a Pastor I cannot tell you why some with GBS are walking and others like my friend who had GBS in September of 2004 are not, but my trust continues to remain in God. I would encourage those of you with GBS to keep a positive attitude and work hard in therapy. It pays off!! God Bless. This is Ron's success story, “click here” to submit yours! Your story may be our next “Shining Inspiration of the Month” story. |
