Hope4US

I'm wondering if anyone has heard from Hope4Us since 2018?

No.  I did pm Jackie Brown who was on recently and who used to post on her blog alot and she said she hadn't heard from her either in years.  Hope4Us has such invaluable information on her blog with all the exhaustive testing she went through.  Docs found out why she had such bad symptoms.

That's a shame. It looks like she stops coming on here years at a time. Hopefully, she is doing better?  I know she got diagnosed with gad65 encephalitis but how accurate do you think that was?  I feel like if that was the real problem then the IVIG treatments would have lessened her symptoms?  What symptoms, in particular, was she dealing with that are specific to gad65 encephalitis?

From the look of her posts, she was dealing with chronic akathisia symptoms. I have all those symptoms too.  Did she have problems before benzos? So many questions

I have great faith in blood tests, since they don't lie.  I think her diagnosis was accurate.  It's interesting that I also was diagnosed with encephalitis last January, but mine is Lupus encephalitis.  I wish I had the money to have gotten all those antibody tests that she got, but they cost a fortune and most docs don't know to order them.
