Well today I started my Isagenix shakes which is now included with my Physiotherapy and occupational therapy as part of my GBS recovery program. This is a choice I made that I feel with help with my recovery. Today I had a delicious strawberry flavour shake made up by the kitchen staff here at The Stan Cassidy Rehabilitation Centre. They put a banana and a strawberry yogurt in it. It was great! I love making my own Isagenix shakes the way I like them.
Physiotherapy & Walking Between Parallel Bars Going Well
In Physiotherapy it was another good day in rehab. I did 5.2 miles in a little over 36 minutes on level 6…I went in the parallel bars today again as well and my walking continues to improve. Did my arm workout and hands in both physio and OT. Overall a good day, just working hard towards getting better. It takes a lot to impress me but my walking was really good. 🙂 I’ll get a video next time.
One of the doctors came to talk to me about my metabolism booster for Isagenix that I’m taking that contains green tea and alfalfa. Apparently it interacts with one of the medications I’m on. There’s not enough studies on it but he suggested I don’t take it until I’m walking at least 150 feet and off my blood thinner. Because I’m not moving around enough like a normal person so a blood thinner is given. I don’t think it will cause anything to happen by taking it. However I’m not going to take the risk and take the metabolism booster for now. I’m just going to stick to the Isagenix shakes and cleanse. The doctor gave me some information to look at.
My GBS Recovery & Isagenix Shakes
I’ve come a long way in my recovery from Guillain Barre Syndrome to have any additional complications. The Isagenix shakes will help with muscle gain which is what I’m looking for by providing my body the proper nutrients it needs. I’m confident that Isagenix will help with my recovery from GBS. I’ve used it before and in my opinion it increased my overall energy while losing weight and building muscle.
With Guillain Barre Syndrome I’m willing to try anything if it can possibly help me improve and get better quicker. Muscle weakness is a big part of Guillain Barre Syndrome at the start when it begins and even during recovery. I’ve looked into possibly doing steroid treatments before. However the doctors here and my neurologist are not on board with it and against it. I’ve also looked into taking B12 supplements as it’s known to help with nerve repair. They don’t want to give me any additional supplements. It’s within normal range which is the reason I am doing Isagenix now. I want to try and give myself the best chance at recovery. I feel that this is going to help me immensely as I’ve used these Isagenix products before.
Only time will tell so until then it’s Physiotherapy, Occupational therapy and Isagenix shakes for me as I work towards recovering from Guillain Barre Syndrome.

I wish you well on you recovery.
Keep up the good work my dear, you deserve a pat on the back my dear.
Our neighbour going back approximately 5 years ago came down with this
GBS, he has come a long way. He goes once a month for treatment it
Like night and day and he’s just a young man with family.
Thank you for the best wishes and my recovery from GBS. It’s hard work but I’m getting better.
I’m very sorry to hear your neighbour had Guillain Barre Syndrome. It’s an awful autoimmune disorder. It’s hard for anyone to go through. Must have been hard for him with a young family too. I’m happy to hear he has come a long way in his recovery.
I’m hoping to get home as fast as I can. Miss my family, my kids. One day at a time but I’m getting there. Hopefully I’ll be home soon.
Thanks for the best wishes, appreciate it. 🙂
