Supporting My Sister with Autoimmune Encephalitis
We had no idea that we would be entering into the frightening world of a serious and elusive brain injury known as Autoimmune Encephalitis (AE).

I share my experience so that others know that they are not alone feeling all of the range of thoughts and feelings that go along with supporting a person brain injury.
