Being one of seven people in the world with a severe case of Guillain-Barrè Syndrome, a neurological disease that attacks the immune system causing temporary paralysis, Barbra takes you on her journey through this illness, facing the odds of losing her life but then having the spiritual strength to live and share this story with you.
“I awoke one day to this feeling that changed my life completely. Why didn’t I die? is the horrific account of an illness so terrifyingly unimaginable, so unthinkable, and so inconceivable to have. It is an illness that invades your body unannounced, as if it had been watching you for some time; and when the time is right, it attacks, entering your body unseen. Once inside, it travels like a living organism, making its journey and wreaking havoc within. It left me so powerless.”
