ADEM SURVIVOR

May 17, 2017

By: Wlsnlove


At 6yo I developed ADEM from vaccines... had chorea symptoms, and seizures, auditory and visual hallucinations, and headaches, and slurred speech and blurred vision, and wound up in a coma for 5 days... my white cells were at 42k and they were attacking the myelin in my brain. I had encephalitis and was unaware of my surroundings... had pedi-mal seizures, grand mal seizures, staring seizures and A-typical seizures ... spinal taps, MRIs CT scans, EEGs, EKGs, a ton of medications and tests before they finally called it ADEM... acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and it took steroids and plasma phoresis for it to start to be managed and for me to wake from my coma... I still have residual headaches and have had auditory hallucinations over the last 4 years. I pray it stays away and I never have a relapse... y'all need to stay away from vaccines!!
