After a month, I was discharged. The final week was unexplained (and still unexplained) fevers that *seem* to have come down in intensity enough to let me go home. I'm adjusting to being back but please be patient if I've failed to respond to your emails or messages. There's just so much backlog.

Still alive, still in hospital y’all. Lots of twists and turns but getting through it.

Twist: Neurosarcoidosis. truly a doctor House experience, but had a great team at NYU Langone Neuro.
Steroid time!

Spoke too soon, going back in for round two of treatment.

Discharged! Still recovery to go and many appointments but I’m home

To my many colleagues whose emails have gone unanswered…
I’m in the hospital with a miller fisher-adjacent variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Basically my immune system is attacking my cranial nerves. Prognosis is good, recovery will be a bit slow.
