Anyone here dealt with something similar?
I went through this back in 2006—a severe case of encephalitis—and now, seven years later, it feels like it’s coming back. It’s like I’m developing epilepsy in my brain and there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m 20, and I really need to hear from someone who gets this. I’ve had every test under the sun done at the Mayo Clinic and everything came back perfect. My liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, bladder, heart... all clear. But I still feel terrible. The headaches are unbearable sometimes, accompanied by these intense ringing sounds and this overwhelming feeling like I’m actually dying. Everything just goes black, and I get this terrifying sense of what it's like right before you pass away. Every night, I'm haunted by memories of the past, and I feel like I have some kind of control over the future. Lately, though, things are getting much worse, and I just need to know if anyone out there has found a way to cope, because I don't know how much longer I can take this... :/
