> Poser wait---- encephalitis started all this is it possible that an antibiotic could be needed now. Can you get a spinal tap? See if all the bugs are gone. Physical problems sometimes are the reason. Can you see a neurologist? Phillipa


Phillipa, you really think there could be something like a slight lingering infection?

I was 13 when I had the encephalitis, was in a coma 5 days, and was in the hospital about 2 and a half weeks in all. I was told they did a spinal tap when I first arrived at the hospital (I don't remember it, or anything else around the time I first went into the coma. But I don't remember if they did another spinal tap to see if it had all cleared up. I'll ask my family and see if they remember.

But in 2010 I went to a family doc and they did some blood tests, a sleep test and an MRI. They found nothing abnormal with those tests.

But it would be incredible if I were to have a spinal tap and they found a lingering infection. Is that even possible? Other than a little bit of a cough and a runny nose, I haven't exactly been sick since then. I figured the encephalitis had strengthened my
immune system. So I haven't taken any antibiotics since then.

Hmm... I wonder if anybody else has anything to add to this? Like I said, it would just be incredible if they did a spinal tap and found a problem.
