La Crosse Encephalitis

[KJHM]

I had La Crosse Encephalitis when I was 4 and I am now 40 and I get terrible headaches with sensitivity to light and stiff neck.  I am curios to know if the headaches have anything to do with the encephalitis I had as a kid.  I have also been diagnosed with HSV type 1 which comes and goes.  Can this be an after effect of encephalitis?  Thank you for any help you can give.

( Cold Soar growing inward & Stress ) They didnt count out my Over Seas Travels (4yrs Before).... I Can Say that to most unknowing lookers! I am simply A ragged out, Somewhat Retarted White Girl @ this point.

I dont look like I used to, I dont Eat the foods I used to & am in Love with a man I despised.  I can Tell every1 that my Neurologist who Practices in 2 countries Tells Me!!
This is It Baby! ALL YOU have to worry about for The Rest of your Life IS::

MIGRAINES,SHORT TERM MEMORY,(I still dont remember ppl day to day) Seizure Pills (wthr siezing or Not) AND NO ENERGY!!!!!

We wont talk about the Light sensitivity or Sleep Problms That ARE Normal

I don't know what my encephalitis was classified as (you say yours was La Crosse) but I had enceph. when I was 3 and I still get migranes and have some problems with my eyes today.  My eyes don't dilate properly and I basically can't see anything when I go out in bright sunlight. I've never had the stiff neck problem but I just wanted you to know that there's someone else feeling your pain in some aspects.
