    • Close Encephalitis

      I was hospitalized in November 2007 and diagnosed with meningitis and encephalitis. Since then I have had problems with memory, mental agility, balance, coordination, sleep cycle as well as other brain trauma problems.

    • Close Depression

      I am in recovery from encephalitis. My wife says my personality has changed since I became ill. She doesn't relate to me emotionally. Now I feel isolated and very depressed.

    • Open Brain Injury

      I am in recovery from meningitis and encephalitis. My neurologist compared the brain trauma to someone in a severe motorcycle accident without a helmet. I've been having a very difficult time adjusting to my new self. I developed my illness in October, 2007 and I am experiencing a variety of problems. My personality has changed. My mind is not as quick as it was. My personal relationships have suffered.
