'Perfectly healthy' dad left paralysed after walking dog given second tragic diagnosis
A “perfectly healthy” dad who was left paralysed after being diagnosed with a rare disease is now fighting cancer in a tragic double blow.
When he came round, Stephen was told he had Guillain-Barré syndrome. The very serious condition affects the nerves and impacts a sufferer’s feet, hands and limbs. Though some people make a full recovery, it can be life-threatening and can cause long-term problems. Stephen now uses a wheelchair and lives in a care home. The condition led to him developing heart disease and diabetes and he needs to take around 25 separate medications a day. Despite the devastating disorder, Stephen is still able to strap a brush to his hand and paint.
