“One morning last month I woke up unable to walk,” Stevens wrote in a post. “My hands, arms and legs were all numb and tingling, and I had no strength, feeling or movement.”
He added that tests in the emergency room concluded he had Guillain-Barré syndrome, which the Mayo Clinic describes as “a rare disease in which the body’s immune system attacks your nerves. Weakness and tingling in the hands and feet are often the first symptoms.”
“I was in the med/surg hospital for about two weeks, lying in bed while my doctors did everything they could to keep me alive and stabilize my condition,” Stevens continued. “I owe them my life. “
Stevens said he began undergoing extensive physical and occupational therapy on Sept. 8 “to get my body back together and learn to walk again.”
