Mark Schlereth had Guillain Barre Syndrome in ‘93, offers help to Travis Frederick

Wednesday night rocked Dallas Cowboys fans everywhere as news of Travis Frederick being diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome broke.

This is an auto-immune disease and there are a wide-ranging number of ways that it can impact people, this we know. We’re also aware, thanks to the statement that Travis released, that this was detected at a “fairly early stage” which is certainly not a bad thing. Outside of these few facts we know very little about this rare medical condition.

In the fallout of this news many people commented and tweeted about cases of GBS that were either personal, or about someone close to them.
