April 2021 diagnosed hsv encephalitis
4 weeks hospital discharged may 2021
Since then I have had 4 follow up scans mri, most recent was January 2022 and the results for that one is brain looks stable , the residue swelling is stable still but much better than the first follow up scan , but I actually have a face to face with neurology doctor in March regarding this last scan and results , hopefully its good news 👍 hopefully back to work soon in some way 🙏
Hi HeavyChunky1,
I'm so glad to hear that your recent scan results are an improvement from day one! I sincerely hope it's good news too! I wish you the very best ofluck with your neurologist in March fingers crossed for you.
I wouldn't worry too much about going back to work that soon, if I were in your position I would take it "step by step" or "day by day" "being patient with yourself" is really important for recovery.
Otherwise if one overdoes things, it's possible to relapse, so to avoid all that, take it easy and give yourself the extra time if required.
