I love this so much!

I’ve never heard it pronounced this way. 😯

[@encephalitisinternational]

Thank you for your comment, KoolerTrek. The word encephalitis stems from the ancient Greek, encephalo = brain, and itis = inflammation. Here in the UK encephalitis is pronounced according to the Greek convention, with a hard "K" instead of a soft "C" sound.

I’ve had 2 seizures, all the Classic systems I’ve had an EEG waiting for results, believe it was set off by long Covid, please help I can’t get treatment, I do think I could die.

[@encephalitisinternational]

Please seek urgent medical attention if you are experiencing seizures and concerned you may have encephalitis, Kyla.

What are ur reports?

Tell your doctor to check you for elevated levels of the chicken pox disease. That's how they figured out I had it. I went to so many doctors. I kept going blind, so dizzy I couldn't walk, flu symptoms, my brain kept popping in my skull, I couldn't move my neck.
