An amazing message! I really needed to hear this today 💜

@@encephalitisinternational You’re very welcome

That's awesome. I don't remember anything before I had my grand Mal seizure due to encephalitis.... now I have epilepsy as a result of the brain swelling. Great.

I was just discharged with Autoimmune Encephalitis, I'm English and married in the United States, I have no health insurance, and no green card yet, in England, they put me in multiple psyche wards through a misdiagnosis of schizophrenia, after spending 12 months institutionalised my wife helped me move here through a marriage green card, and finally got me out of England; two years into our marriage, I began to have a seizure, which triggered the autoimmune encephalitis, I was just discharged last week after two weeks in hospital, a spinal tap, and 14 days on a Saline IV, I'm so thankful to be alive, and had never heard of this condition beforehand, I didn't know my own name, but I knew who my wife was, its horrible to think that if this happened in England, they would have resectioned me into a psyche ward through misdiagnosis, and I would be dead; I feel very lucky.

Hi, you look great.I would like to know how long it took you to go back to school.???? My son has been in the same situation for a year and he has not recovered yet, it is better this way but it is very difficult.

Hi Juliana, can you share the name of the Doctors you see @ Jackson. We are living in Miami as well and I try to find my son Dx.. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

Hi Rosa! Thank you for reaching out. Since it was almost 9 years ago, my neurologist no longer works in Miami. I saw Dr. Reuven Bromberg, MD but he is not based in Jackson. He helped my recovery immensely. I also saw Dr. Nicole Mavrides - Psychiatrist at UM HEALTH JACKSON & Dr. Susan Ireland - Neuropsychologist. All great doctors in Miami! Best of luck !!!

My 21 year old daughter has been diagnosed with GAD65 autoimmune encephalitis. She has focal seizures. She's taking the IV steroids now. They want her to take Rituximab next. Can I ask if you took that? She/we are so scared.

Hi! Thank you for reaching out. I feel like every person is different, and everybody heals differently. So, I wouldn’t be able to tell you what is best for your daughter, but I definitely think you should talk to several doctors before you make a decision. At the end of the day neurologists tend to know best. Best of luck with everything!

How does neuropsychology treat an autoimmune condition?
