there's a 5% chance
that I could develop the chronic form, and a 0.5% chance that I could just simply catch it again. The odds sound good but it's a 100,000 to one that you get it in the first place (no reason why it happens- its not genetic, not a bug, it's not catching or anything)
However I was told after a few months it would be two years before I walked again. Six months in total and I was back on my feet. Two years on I look absolutely fine, and have no visual residuals which is a massive relief

yeah it's a weird illness. No-one has ever heard of it unless they know someone whose been affected. Though med students do come up and ask me a lot about it
