Hi, My best friend also has this. If you would email me with your address I will give it to her and hopefully you too can speak. She does not have access to the web right now but I will make sure she gets your name and email address. mine is bearybear2001@yahoo.com.

ADEM is usually caused by a virus or less commonly vaccination such as MMR. 50% recover fully. It sounds like she has mostly recovered. Good luck! Please take a look a glyconutrients. There are links and information to read over on my page.

God Bless.
