<s>[INST] I had severe guillian barre 19 years ago--a age of 22-  and was in ICU on a respirator for over 6 months. I have recovered mostly, though I will never run any marathons :).. I have never been to a therapist though I  thought maybe I should. Is it possible I have PTSD from that? I curently take prozac, prescribed to me by a GP after my husbands suicide last year. But truth be told, I have been depressed for a long time before that. I guess my question is. is PTSD after GBS common? sorry for rambling. [/INST] First congratulations on good recovery after severe garden GB syn Chat Doctor. One thing I can assure u that your weakness and paresthesia will improve over time. Continue physiotherapy. PTSD can occur after any major illness. Please follow the advice given by psychiatrist. Resume your normal duties. A day will definitely come when you will run in marathon. Hope my answer will help you. Take care.don't forget to rate me. </s>
