We’ve had a missing co-worker for some time and someone in the office just talked to her and is reporting back that that she has something called “gambray”. I’ve tried several different spellings and Google isn’t giving me anything.
Apparently she felt like she had a pulled muscle in her back, but went to the doctor and it turned out to be whatever this is, and it’s very serious. She has therapy every day and spent many days in the hospital before being released. She’s also not allowed to have contact with anyone who has a cold as this can make her recovery much worse. This seems to be something that has a very, very long recovery period. I’m sure that the name of whatever this is went through a game of “telephone”, but can anyone assist with figuring out what this may be?
Horrid indeed, this sounds more like something from an episode of House than something that someone you know in real life would come down with. The poor dear, I do hope that she makes a full recovery as well.
I started a thread not long ago, because the wiki suggests there is strong evidence that FDR did not have polio, but had Guillan Barre syndrome. The reference looks pretty legitamate, but I’m not an MD. That’s why I asked here.
