Hi Jane,
My name is Ruth, and I too had Encephalitis years ago. I was also in a coma for 2 or 3 weeks. I would love to share and swap stories to get an understanding of this thing they call Encephalitis.

Yeah we're here and I had this disease many years ago. I got rid of it. It came from a flu shot that I got and affected my Cerebellar or the brain stem. I couldn't walk straight, type right or see out of the extreme right corner of my eye because it was distorted. When I ate it felt like I was eating cotton balls. I finally got rid of it. There's lots more people here. If you want to compare notes I'll be glad to talk. galed

Hi Jane, My name is Judith. I got Encephalitis in the summer of 2006 too, and nearly died. Mine was also from the herpes simplex virus. I am new to these types of message boards but I am hoping to find friends who can share ideas about how to overcome the frustrating and debilitating effects. I have always been an active, self sufficient, working mom all of my life and now find myself having to live with my kids because of my difficulties with short term memory. I'm hoping to find others who have learned to overcome the memory issues and lead a full life. I hope to hear from you and others. Thanks for starting this thread!
