Thanks Rosie, I'm sure all members also have their fingers crossed for your brother.
I was in the Philippines and missed your last update. Since you first posted over 15 months ago you've had 180 replies and approaching 23,000 views. It shows the interest and support your thread has generated .
It would be understandable if neither you nor most members had ever previously heard of the condition affecting your brother. You are now an authority, but for other members, just a brief reminder : ADEM ( acute disseminated encephalomyelitis ) is a rare type of " demyelinating " illness due to damaged myelin. That's the " white matter " protecting nerve fibres. Multiple sclerosis is the commonest type. Acute = sudden; disseminated = widespread; encephalomyelitis = inflammation of brain and spinal cord. The cause of ADEM is often not known, although it may follow an infection.
Early treatment is aimed at suppressing the inflammation. Additional treatment is symptomatic and supportive - what your posts have shown so clearly is just how true that is ... well done Rosie .
