My daughter has been diagnosed with ADEM, she’s been in hospital for 9 weeks, she has made huge progress after having PLEX for 5 days. We are waiting for a place in rehab, approximately another 4/5 week wait. I know it’s rare but I just wondered if there is anyone in here who has had it or knows someone who has.
Thanks

I hadn't heard of ADEM 'til now Bev, but I understand a little more after reading up on the condition and learning about the plasma procedure and its success rate. I like to think that someone will come along with actual experience...…... though I've never heard it mentioned here.
Just thought I'd say hello and send best wishes for your daughter's continuing recovery. Cat x
Hi, I just came across this site. I was diagnosed with having ADEM in March 2016 and was in hospital for about 3 months in total. Ive recovered but have bladder and bowel issues, which are managed. Im in my late 30s and my treatment was a bit trial and error as they weren’t sure what was wrong with me at first but I was on course of steroids.
Wishing your daughter all the best in her recovery.
