Why would my encephalitis be triggered by
menses every month? I get a shingles,
herpes, and pyoderma gangrenosum outbreak
with herpetic encephalitis evey time I get
my menses. Why every month and why all
the outbreaks? :oops: :cry:

Maybe the herpes viruses are living in
neurones sensitive to oestrogen, and that
acts as their triggering factor. Quite
peculiar.
Look at the positive side - unlike most,
you're well aware of the triggers of your
herpes zoster attacks, and can take
prophylactic antiviral drugs to minimise
the outbreak.
Bon chance.

So far we have not found anything that my
immune system will act with.
I'm going to have a spinal tap done in
march also. It's absolutely horrendous
to deal with all three outbreaks, and
everything else like the pain,
encephalitis, and gi problems. My concern
is that this has been happening for years
and the damage that has been done to my
vital organs.
