Thank you for this video it needs to be educated in hospitals the signs my daughter is 34 years old and had 1 st symptoms in January as far as we no fainting at work as she is a career them seizures also confusion hands out and twitching her fingers always looking at her hands then trashed hospital room she was phsycotic at that time we had many diagnosis none were correct ,she was sectioned in to carse veiw but before that she has a test a lumber puncture test and now diagnosed with anti NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis she had a an autoimmune drip that’s done now they putting her on a steroid drip but she is a little better but not herself well when I say a little what I mean is from before like when we visit sit there all day every day if we leave for 1 minute come back in the room she will say hi when did you come as she keeps forgetting have to repeat every thing every 2 minutes and she always says why ami in here you tell her she says ok thensame question on and on I just hope and pray I get my daughter back. She is now in hospital 18 March 2022 but this disease is the most horrendous disease obviously for her but also for the family as you no your child and when some one is giveing answers you feel so helpless as I knew my daughter was in there somewhere it so painful and hard to watch your child not knowing who you are and nothing we could do to help her
Thank You Dorothee - I take each day as it comes - things get better and then get bad but overall I just count my blessings everyday to have been able to have such a supportive family who never gave up on me - and pushed for a diagnosis :) x
God Bless you Haighley, I've had something similar, having seizure and stroke like episodes but MRI, CT and EEG are completely normal, I'm obviously not in a vegetative state but it's very hard to go about every day and Doctors can be somewhat dismissive. Doctors haven't run a test for this disease on me yet.
We have to be strong advocates for ourselfs - thankfully i had my family push for answers - but I would defo push for a lumper punch - at least if it comes back negative they can begin testing for other things. Im sending you all the love and positivity and hoping for answers for you ASAP!!
