About	My name is Gopi. Two years ago I was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome. Subsequently, that diagnosis became CIDP — chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. I now use a wheelchair but through physical therapy I've begun to use my walker and a cane with increasing success. My strength is getting better, but since this is a chronic condition I must manage my exertion and exhaustion levels. I also am concerned about diet and losing weight because I've been inactive except for in-home physical therapy.I have begun to incorporate green smoothies and raw foods based on a diet recommended by one of my doctors. My PCP has also recommended a 1500 calorie low sodium (no more than 3000 mg daily) diet. I currently eat a primarily vegetarian diet; however, I do include fish and poultry. I love to write; I am a writer. I have a blog that was an important part of my healing while in hospitals. I love music and tend to be a cerebral sort who loves meeting new people. Let's see, what else? I am just beginning to go out to shop, visit the library, in addition to medical appointments, after almost 2 years of being home bound. I will need fun ways to stay active during the winter months because my access to outdoors will be limited at that time.
