Long term effects of encephalitis

Posted By Linda on August 26, 1998 at 22:39:02:







My husband thinks he had encephalitis 23 years ago.  He was hospitalized;
suffered paralysis; took over a year to recover.  Recently he has been
experiencing extreme weakness, headaches, and nausea whenever he works
a little more than usual.  Since I've known him (1990) he has periodic
spasms and minor paralysis in his upper lip.  The chances of getting
him to a doctor are slim.  He's convinced they can't diagnose it or treat
it, so why bother.  I need ammunition to convince him to seek help.
Any advice?  Thanks.  Linda
