- A video from 2011 about encephalitis with Dr Nick Davies. Lots of research and findings have happened since this video was made - but still a helpful summary of the basics of encephalitis.
Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down? This is raising awareness for Encephalitis and to help save lives!!!
After the excellent explanation I recommend to listen to the beautiful song and poetic lines starting at 11:45
Thank you for the wonderful poem at the end. The entire presentation is so helpful. Like a hug for someone who had encephalitis. ❤
Very informative. I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis, as well as Encephalitis. These are very challenging to live with. May God help us all with these illnesses.

I suffered with encephalitis seven years ago.Peole thought it was the flu .But a neurological dotor diagnosed me. My life has not been the same I suffer from seizures ,memory loss ,sensitvityto light and smells that trigger seizures.Basically I don"t live my life ,like I would.Thank God I survived there where good doctors to help me along. But I got alot of problems with this illness.
My son has Rasmussens encephalitis, tried 20 different meds, 7 clinical trials, vagus nerve stimulator, separated hemispheres. I.V.IG., Rituxamab. Keto diet. Nothing works. He is 30 years old. And has several seizures everyday. We are looking for a more natural, holistic, way of treatment. If anyone has any information or can guide in any direction please 🙏 aware us. He does have memories of his childhood. His first seizure was at the age of 10. We refuse to give up. Love to all, we understand your struggle
This is so interesting. Very informative. My Catholic school 🏫 teacher 👩🏫 said she had a daughter 👧 with encephalitis
Great video. He explains it very well.
Thanks Brittany!
The Encephalitis Society You’re welcome
I was under the care of Nicholas Davis at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, following admittance with HIV Encephalopathy in 2014.
A wonderful man and a wonderful team saved my life.
Even after all this time, I didn't completely understand, untill I watched this.
Many thanks.
What a wonderful comment thank you for sharing. We will pass onto Nick and the team as well. Here if you need us for anything www.encephalitis.info. Thanks again
@@encephalitisinternational I met with Nick 14th March 2019 to discuss latest MRI scan, and was given the all clear, so just a note of encouragement to other sufferers. We go through hell, but stay positive. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
@@peterkennett7594 What lovely words!
Dr Davies really and truly is one of a kind. One of the extremely few doctors, if not the best at not just being a sympathetic person, but has an extremely warm heart and great bedside manner. If i could i’d reward this man with mountains. This man deserves Dubai. . Hafsah
Thanks so much for this brilliant scientific video! It's so educational. I wish there were more like this one. 🙂

I am Gabriella. I saw Dr Nick Davies this week on 120 harley Street in London. He is a lovely man and very attentive. Since he saw me I am feeling worst. I can barely walk… I asked Mr Davies Please watch the Brain on Fire film what is about Autoimmune Encephalitis based on a true story with Susan Cahallan. Sometimes no MRI no Blood test shows it. Over 7 weeks now having worsening symptoms in this 3 days it persisted symptoms. I can barely function and the ongoing pressure on my head and the way it is harder to walk every day. Please someone help.
Please do contact Encephalitis International for support if you feel it will help.
I got all neuroligical symptomsnow with encephalitis since the 3rd may. I do not have psychological symptoms at all just pain/ No MRI No Ct scan no blood test did not show it. I went through a million test like Susan Cahalan in Brain on Fire. Later I developed crazy ovarian pain. I went for even abdominal MRI showed nothing. And the pain in my ovary as it can cause it ovarian teratoma. What I did not have is a lumbar puncture. I have no idea how to prove the ovarian teratoma. It says I did my research that with people with anti nmdar receptor encephalitis it is harder to see the teratoma because it is too small.:(
Thank you
Perhaps the best explanation
Although here in the USA
We pronounce it differently
En-sef-a-litice ....
I’d like a print copy of the end...
My daughter has impulse issues and it changed her personality and some of her educational abilities.
But... she also has DiGeiorge Syndrome... what are the chances/odds of that happening
Thank you for your interesting comment, Cindy. Yes, the American pronunciation uses the soft 'c' sound (enˌsefəˈlaɪtɪs), whereas the British pronunciation uses the hard 'k' sound (enˌkefəˈlaɪtɪs). We go with the British pronunciation as we are based out of the UK.
We are here for you, and your daughter. Could you please get in touch with us at support@encephalitis.info, or call us on (0)1653699599, and our support team will be happy to talk it through with you.
I survived... but now... 50 years later my braindamage is starting to show!! And making life more and more complicated!
Please raise awareness with Brain on Fire film true story on this condition! :(
We have the book on our website also :)
Is it possible to get encephalitis from 'tick bites" from our toy poodle?
Hi. The best option is to make sure the dog is treated against ticks. If your dog has a tick, please make sure you remove it correctly. If you need any other information please contact support@encephalitis.info
