Hashimoto's Encephalopathy (Autioimmuine Encephalopathy) SREAT (Steroid Responsive Encephalopathy Associated with Tyroiditis) HE(When will they decide on a name).
Hashtimoto's Encephalopathy (HE) is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by neurological and psychiatric symptoms, and is one of the listed "rare diseases" with the NIHs Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center.
He is an autoimmune disease in which a patient's antibodies mistakenly turn on and attack the patient's brain. The results of the attack may include severe cognitive impairment, speech disorders, seizures, memory loss, impaired balance, movement disorders, and sometimes psychosis. Patients sometimes may fall into a coma and in rare cases it can cause death.
Unfortunately, HE is not well understood and patients often face an enormous struggle trying to find the correct diagnosis.
But three women came together, and wrote a book the very first of it's kind. There has never been a book written on HE. If interested in this very informational book please ask your local book store or go to Amazon and ask for (Understanding Hashimoto's Encephalopathy) It will be available on Kindle with in a week.
Hugs and kisses to all you suffering friends, and I hope this book sheds light on a very rare disease.
