I understand when I was 5 had chickenpox and that gave me cerebellitis then 2 years later when I was 7 I had encephalitis and apparently they weren't even related I had those two brain conditions completely randomly but the encephalitis did give me epilepsy with two to three seizures a week on average and it gave me secondary autism so I know the effects that encephalitis can have and I also know that I was lucky to just get what I have I also don't want to scare anybody but I want people to know no that this can happen but I also want people to know no that it does not need to be the end of your life in fact it can be the beginning of a better life if you take it the right way and use it the right way I've not seen it as a burden but as a way of understanding others and a way to help others that is why I'm learning health and social care so that I can use what I have learnt to help others in any negative situation and I hope others out there can do the same
Gemma great work. I had viral encephalitis 34 yrs ago. Around the same age I was 8. Before a lot of things were know about encephalitis. I also had chickenpox about 6 months before. I’m thinking it was that that triggered my encephalitis.
Great story, well done!

Thank you! It sounds like that could be a possibility.
