had it.
In 1983, Griffith was stricken with Guillain-Barre syndrome, but he recovered after rehabilitation. In 1986, he produced and starred in the very successful television series Matlock (1986).

I had it in 1978

Just 5 months later Joseph Heller contracted it and was on the cover of people magazine.
