He used to be a happy person, and even those who didn’t know him could see the joy in his behavior. But everything changed when he was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. Suddenly, he had difficulty walking, his hands moved strangely, and even his speech was affected.
The pain was relentless, coursing through his body and often unrelieved by medication. He became severe and distant, lashing out at those around him as a defense mechanism. He despised his condition and the dependency it imposed on him, resenting the need for help in almost every aspect of his life.

“Get out of here!” He shouted, his voice full of bitterness. “I don’t need your pity or your help. Just leave me alone.”
