Do Limbic Encephalitis sufferes ever recover their memory and emotions to the degree of a managable home life. My partners simptoms were constant crying, panick attacks, almost primal behaviour, short term memory loss, long and random memory loss, constantly eating and major confabulating. Unfortunatly I left my partner as I felt I was having a breakdown myself, being unable to detach from his behaviour, even though I love him dearly.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I am sorry to hear about your partners' illness, and the separation that followed. Limbic encephalitis patients do recover. However, the recovery is slow and gradual, and often partial. The extent of recovery depends on the severity of encephalitis and the ensuing brain damage, the treatment offered, and the rehabilitation process, which includes good family support too. I hope it helps. I would be pleased to answer any follow-up queries. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
