There seem to be a small number of patients with #NMDArEncephalitis who have #MS overlap - think about looking for #whitematterlesions on MRI, and continue to f/u and consider B-cell Rx. #encephalitis2023 Encephalitis International MS Society UK MSTrust Association of British Neurologists

#encephalitis2023 - a life as a detective - using #epidemiology to uncover the secrets of new epidemics of #encephalitis - 'expect the unexpected', not all 'encephalitis' is encephalitis, sometimes the answer remains a #mystery. But an #openmind and #inquisitiveness is key

Again - how dare a government that has cut funding for 16-19 education by 15%, cut youth services by 70%, whacked up student loan repayments, overseen record rises in rents, and cut unemployment/housing benefits say this stuff?
