My mom's memory problems!

[Ftmz]

I am very grateful to all the loved ones who gave me hope and energy with their messages during this period.🩶 Almost a year has passed since my mother was diagnosed with herpes encephalitis type 1, I must say that she is now in a good physical condition, but her short-term memory is not working well, and she is not recording new memories, I want to know if there is any hope for her full recovery or not? Thank you all🫂

One year is no time at all after E. Hold on to hope.

Hi🥰, how long should I wait?🥺

Wait for what exactly? Full recovery? To be honest, that might not happen. I’m in my fifth year after E at age 24, and I know I will never fully recover. Most severe E cases are like that. I don’t know how severe your mom’s was, though. I just know she will most likely keep improving after that first year, but the rate will slow.
