Coping With Encephalitis

I am a 36 year old woman who has so far, lived a very full life, but has always wondered how much having encephalitis has played a role in my life. Never had I heard of this before I got it and never had I heard from the doctors after I was better.
When I was 21, 2 months after my first son was born, I started to feel sick. I thought that it might be a “bug” that was going around or post pardom depression and shrugged it off. Day after day I felt weaker and sicker and soon my husband was calling on doctors. The first visit to my doctors was diagnosed as herpies in my mouth. Let me tell you, that was a very depressing diagnosis. After getting sicker and many more visits to the doctors office, it was apparent that they did not know what was going on. Finally, one morning, I woke up babbiling and my husband sent me to the E.R. I was sent to Mass. General and they diagnosed me with encephalitis. I spent 2 weeks there and many months getting better.
My point is, is that 15 years later, I do not know the effects that this virus played in my life. I have never heard from the doctors since I left the hospital. What are the long term effects? Once you are better is it over? Business as usual?
