Our family is knocking on your hearts for help it may be in anyway (prayers, connections in any charity/ foundations/ support group and especially in financial help) my cousin, Gracelyn Ramos - Parame, 31 years old, is currently confined at Chung Hua Hospital and is diagnosed with GBS Syndrome and needs to undergo Lumbar Puncture and to be treated thru IV- IG or Plasmapherisis.

What is GBS syndrome ? Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rapid-onset muscle weakness caused by the immune system damaging the peripheral nervous system.The initial symptoms are typically changes in sensation or pain along with muscle weakness, beginning in the feet and hands. This often spreads to the arms and upper body, with both sides being involved. The symptoms develop over hours to a few weeks. During the acute phase, the disorder can be life-threatening, with about 15% developing weakness of the breathing muscles requiring mechanical ventilation. Some are affected by changes in the function of the autonomic nervous system, which can lead to dangerous abnormalities in heart rate and blood pressure. The cause is unknown. The underlying mechanism involves an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves and damages their myelin insulation. Sometimes this immune dysfunction is triggered by an infection or, less commonly by surgery and rarely by vaccination.The diagnosis is usually made based on the signs and symptoms, through the exclusion of alternative causes, and supported by tests such as nerve conduction studies and examination of the cerebrospinal fluid. Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you so much and God Bless us all. To anyone willing to help you may contact : Choke Parame: 09569889814
