She died after 8days in the hospital. Please pray for those people who are going to this ordeal. Words could not describe how painful it is to lose someone.

    I have had auto immune encephalitis since April. I’m still recovering now and hoping that it won’t leave any permanent damage. I still have memory problems but it’s so much better than it was in the beginning. I’m lucky to have lots of support and all this medical knowledge delivered to me for free!

    In 1999 after studying, working, and living in the USA for 16yrs., i decided to go bck to my home land- Philippines.
    Now, i'm 67yrs old and still taking anti seizure meds.
    What i had gotten is medically termed as ' Viral Herpes Encephalitis' - infection or inflammation of the brain.
    How i had gotten it is still unclear to me at present.

    I had encaphelitis as a 7 year old. (More and more sure as a result of a vaccination!!) Was in hospital for a week and recovered. But now...50 years later... life is becoming more and more a struggle. Dead tired! And so many more health issues! And needing to fight for recognazion by doctors etc. I had to give up my job! Sold my house! Having a relationship is an enormous struggle!
    Wishing all you the very best! I was lucky to survive... as far as you can call it lucky...

    I had Encephalitis back in 2020 - age 21. I got taken by ambulance to the hospital and it wasn't long before I had a Tonic-clonic seizure. That stopped me driving for 1 year. Loosing my licence stopped me from going out of my small town to see friends. Where DVLA would not pick up the phone, It was 20 months later where I got my licence back. I've lost contact with most of my friends now which makes me want to keep going out to meet new people and explore more alone.
    I had a job age 15 to look after disabled people 4 weeks of the year and by the time I had turned 20 I got myself a job Rolls Royce, Chichester on the rework section. It's now been over 2 years and I have not made it back to Rolls Royce. I'm not sure if I will manage to get the Knowledge back to return.
    Last month I met up with a teacher from school who also had Encephalitis many years ago and talking about it made us feel so much more stable knowing that we're not the only ones. One day I would love to meet up with more people, who has also had Encephalitis, to have fun and have more events which we will never forget.

Luckily I went to a hospital who had a doctor who knew about it so I could be diagnosed quickly and get treatment. I’m in Canada and I’m grateful for the help I received. #canada #kerrywallen

    Measles encephalitis almost killed me at age 6 going on 7. Paralysis and coma. When I awoke from the coma, I could talk but not walk. I taught myself how to walk again even though I was told I would not ever walk again. In those days, there was no vaccine and no rehab. 1958.

    • @encephalitisinternational
      @encephalitisinternational  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is the British pronunciation of encephalitis, Dave. The word encephalitis comes from the Greek "enkephalos" meaning "brain" and "itis" meaning inflammation. Here in the UK we pronounce the word according to it's Greek origin. You can listen to the difference between the UK and US pronunciations here: dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/encephalitis
