I wanna thank you for good writing. Malcolm and the middle is awesome.

My brother had it. It ruined his life.

It happened to him when he was in middle school. He was paralyzed from the neck down and one day away from a tracheostomy when he finally was diagnosed properly and given plasma pheresis. It took several years of physical/occupational therapy to regain most of walking/functioning, though he still needs a cane and still cannot write well. His inability to write + the time lost in education kinda derailed him. Trying to balance therapy and schooling all with my bitch mother didn't really work, so he got a GED. He got into a decent school (top 40), but with shitty financial aid. Long story short, while he got good grades, there were issues with the majors offered. The school promised a certain major would be reinstated that never happened. Two years in he quit because he realized he was going to get deep in debt without the major he wanted and with shitty job prospects. This sounds horrible like he's a dropout or whatever, but I honestly think he made the right choice; they deceived him. He woulda easily been a top tier student with a scholarship at a top 20 school like myself had he never gotten sick.

Daaaaaaarknessssss
