Encephalitis is an acute inflammation of the brain, commonly caused by a viral infection. Sometimes, encephalitis can result from a bacterial infection, such as bacterial meningitis, or it may be a complication of other infectious diseases like rabies (viral) or syphilis (bacterial). Encephalities sufferers experience fever, headache, vomiting, confusion, drowsiness and...

I was diagnosed with E after passing out in a clinic waiting room while away from home. Got a costly ride to the nearest hospital which was out of state. (Try not to do that -- makes collecting your insurance a double nightmare.) Well, I hung in with anti-inflamatories for about a month and things cleared up. I figured I was free of it. ... until about five days ago. Same symptoms, not as severe ... head ache (not the normal thing), body aches, and spacy -- also very low blood pressure (but that's a different topic). Question: has anyone out there had E, basically got over it, and then come down with it again like four or five years later?

Thanks -- dave

Someone out there may correct me if I am wrong!To the best of my "Knowledge", there is "NO KNOWN VACCINE/PILL/ANECTDOTE", to cure ENCEPHALITIS. I've had St. Louis/LaCrosse Encehalitis since 5 July 1962. You will only be a "Sucker", if someone is telling you they have a cure for Encephalitis. I am 60+ years young, and I have done extensive research on Encephalitis, and I will tell you, as of this writing, there is no known CURE for this disease. Take Care/God Bless.

No known cure. This is correct, but it does go away (if you are lucky). I was, at least with regard to encephalitis. I thought I had a recurrance, but it was not that. Turned out to be leukemia, but after six rounds of chemo a good 11 months later -- I am a survivor!!!! Thanks -- dave (dbrowncsuaedu)

I've been told this thing never completely leaves your body. Pretty much we have to live with it for the rest of our lives.

Check it out over the Internet and I think you will find the consensus is that it does not have to be a life-long thing. It has not been for me. The reason for my post last May (2009) was that I had some bad headaches that I thought was like my past E, and my GP doc suggested that that might be the case. However, a spinal tap followed up by a bone marrow biopsy showed that what I had was AML leukemia -- bad stuff. No inference that E leads to L -- two completely different things. Anyway, thru six rounds of chemo, etc. no recurrence of E (although just about everything else got me). So, have no fear -- tough it out and take it easy until you fully recover and then get on with it -- you will be fine. If you want the details of my ordeal with L, then hit my website -- http://BibleThought.org/ at the bottom of the home page it is called "No Visitors Please." My e-mail is on the site, so please let me know wha tyou think about it. May God bless all of you.
