@johnbishop Happy New Year John. I haven't written in awhile. I had just got out the hospital on the 27th. I was admitted in the hospital and my diagnosis was Acute depression and manic psychosis but l had seen a new neurologist and he didn't say anything was wrong. He didn't even order a eeg or MRI. I was having problems because I was out of xifaxan and l had already seen the doctor at the mayo clinic. He told me to try the xifaxan one more time. I did and everything was fine so l asked him for a refill. I went to my previous doctor that does my colonoscopy and his nurse practitioner ordered an acute hepatitis panel because they had on my chart l had hepatitis c, cirrhosis of the liver and then Autoimmune disease. The panel came back and l dont have hep c and cirrhosis. So as the doctor said l have hepatic encephalopathy. So instead of them just seeing it was my liver and l needed my xifaxan they admitted me to the psych ward. I was just looking on autoimmune encephalitis alliance and they were talking about new research John Hopkins was doing and it has to do with PET test and AE. It was a 10yr study. And l had my PET test done at the mayo clinic but l don't know if they are in the study also. But l will call this week coming up. So now l wasn't going to do nothing but now l must because there are too many people in my state who are in the mental hospital for no reason at all but more testing and doctors who want to help there patients. But otherwise everything is great. God is with me all the time so as it says in psalms 23. Thou l walk in the shadow of death thou art with me. And yes he is all the time.

Hi Lisa @techi, Happy New Year to you also. It's good to hear from you and I'm really glad things are going better for you. It would be interesting to find out if Mayo Clinic is also participating in the new research study you mentioned.
