Hey, 5 years ago I had an 8 week period of being locked in. I was taken to hospital as i woke up and couldnt walk properly. I got worse over a few hours and was admitted to the ICU. I was eventually diagnosed with Bickerstaffe Brainstem Encephalitis and Guillain Barre Syndrome. These also damaged my myelin sheath and left me paralysed and locked in. I made really slow progress but after 2 years in hospital I was discharged. I've been left with disabilities but have adapted my new life ok now.
