Paul Schaublin was affected by Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) in 2006, whilst working in Africa. This book is a personal account of his experience with this mysterious disease which significantly impacted the rest of his life. Initially a form of auto-therapy, this story gradually became a book for all those who have inexplicably contracted some such obscure disease. This is a story of sickness, struggle, endurance and ultimately hope with a positive outcome.

Paul Schäublin was born in Vevey, Switzerland (1949). Having studied at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), he graduated as civil engineer. Paul has worked for most of his life as project manager for a major oil company. As part of his work, he has lived in a large number of countries from Kazakhstan to Azerbaijan, Australia to Papua New Guinea and almost all the countries of the African continent. Paul currently lives in Amsterdam where he co-directs an art gallery devoted to photography.

Industry Reviews

"The book is not a tough read about illness, it is smoothly written with nice anecdotes, including a small part played by a world famous neurologist with criminal aspirations. Paul writes with humor and power of observation about the medics, nurses and therapists - usuallly gentle but in some cases grumpy - taking care of him and he at the same time discloses the daily life of expats in Africa." VGEM Nieuws, Netherlands, September 2019 (translated from Dutch)

"Very well written, I think the book can be helpful to many" Anna Christina Gawronska, Mallorca, Spain (July 2019)
