Life after Viral Encephalitis?
How can you attempt to live a "normal life" after surviving Viral Encephalitis? I had to give up working in my dream job in the NHS due to Viral Encephalitis, I can now get 3 or 4 crippling Migraines per week, slurred speech that some people have thought I was drunk, getting words mixed up (asking my

Measles
Has anyone else had the measles? When I was about 8 I had the measles as I wasn't vaccinated. A Doctor had diagnosed me with the measles when I was a baby so my notes said I didn't need to be vaccinated. Strangely, my Gran said it wasn't the measles, but the Doctors still refused to vaccinate me and

How measles causes the body to ‘forget’ past infections by other microbes.
One of the most contagious human pathogens, the measles virus is dangerous enough by itself, with sometimes-fatal complications including pneumonia and brain inflammation. Two detailed studies of blood from unvaccinated Dutch children who contracted measles now reveal how such infections can also compromise

Remission should be the holy grail
My wife is 13q mutated and started Ibrutinib as a first line treatment in January at 48 years old after 5 years of W&W This choice was made over chemo because she’s a high risk of other cancers The side effects were very painful and after a month, her hematologist decreased her dose to 2 pills a Day

Shingles and watch and wait
I am 7 years into watch and wait- no symptoms other than steadily increasing wbc(. 200now) . Last week diagnosed with shingles and got antiviral medication , which is hopefully clearing it up. My question is , does getting shingles signal the need to start treatment? Should I let my consultant know,

Will this end
I have been dealing with hell the past few months. At this point just not sure if it will end. I worry every day all day and can’t sleep when I do wake up it’s all over again. I had been having awful headaches which lead to treacherous body aches after so many Er visits all test were negative. I started

W9R2 First run since Cellulitis
I posted a month ago about feeling bad after W9R1 only to find out I had cellulitis. In the end I had 3 bags of IV antibiotics that day followed by 5 days of 1 bag a day, top off with 7 days of 2 different tablet antibiotics. Needless to say my leg swelled up like an elephant's and it taken until yesterday

Thyroid and Adrenals
Hi, I have low morning cortisol and just don’t have the energy to make it through the day. I take NDT and top up with t3 but my t4 levels are always low and out of range. I think when I try to raise my NDT it potentially back fires due to low cortisol? I have had 3 SST tests done and I pass every time

Shingles
I have been diagnosed with shingles. I noticed a rash on Thursday, however because it wasn’t hurting at all I didn’t think much of it which was very silly of me! I went to the doctor on yesterday as it was spreading and i was told it was shingles. I’m surprised that after now 6 days the rash is there

Shingles injection
I've finally made it down to 1/2mg every other day. My Doctor wants me to have the shingles injection. Does anyone know if this can cause an issue?? I've been reducing the pred for 2 1/2 yrs, very very slowly and haven't had a flare and don't want one at this stage. Appreciate any thoughts. many

Gastric Issues after Meningitis?
I am 8 months post meningitis. I am still struggling with after effects. Trembling, brain fog and numb spots. My question....Anyone have gastric issues? Diarrhea? Mine has been bad last week or so. Appetite has never been totally back to normal. I never can tell if new symptoms are meningitis related

PMR? or not PMR? - that is the question.
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of alternative conditions that might be / have been misdiagnosed as PMR?. e.g there appears to be some evidence that Lyme disease may present the identical clinical picture as PMR.
