Before All Others (2016)
Misrepresentation of Guillain-Barre Syndrome
22 January 2024
This movie was okay, but it does not explain how seriously debilitating and devastating GBS actually can be. The movie portrays GBS as being no more serious than the common flu and that the majority of patients fully recover. This is just not true. GBS can cause permanent paralysis and lifelong disability. It can cause coma, weakened chest muscles can affect lung functioning and other serious medical problems. And THERE IS NO CURE. And I should know, I've been dealing with the aftermath of having GBS fifty-five years ago since I was fifteen. If people are going to make a movie about a rare and serious illness, JUST DON'T SUGARCOAT IT!!!
