I am very sorry to hear your mom got guillain-barré syndrome, however the correlation to that and the flu shot has not been proved and is about 1 in a million chance that is was because of the flu vaccine. It is caused by a viral infection, which the flu is. On that same note around 35,000 people die of the flu each year in the US.
With that being said I hope your Mom is doing well and is coping with that horrible affliction. My thoughts are with her.
She lived another 15 years. She had to learn to walk again. she had to learn the majority of her motor skills again. I think neuropathy was the long lasting effect she couldnt shake.. Shes no longer with us but she beat that disease along with cancer twice heart attack and valve repair. She was 89 A beautiful soul.
Thank you for your kind words.
