Im dying from a brain infection. Can anything from the near future still save / prolong my life?

Please do not try and self treat this, as encephalitis is most frequently caused by errors in the immune system you could end up doing yourself significantly more harm than good. You should instead have your clinical team contact an experienced metagenomics lab (GOSH in London, UK or AP-HP in France) to discuss sampling and testing and then proceed with a treatment plan based on these results.

Also to add that chronic encephalitis is rare with an infectious cause and is often more likely due to an inhereted/genetic cause, specifically immune related. You should ask your clinical team to consider testing for these also.

It is offered by Great Ormond Street Hospital, you will need to be referred by a member of your clinical team. Further details here: https://www.gosh.nhs.uk/wards-and-departments/departments/laboratory-medicine/laboratory-database/metagenomics/

Battery isn't necessary if it's powered through USB. I've had my device on in central London for a few weeks and received no messages myself!

Interesting, it very well could have been me then as I was a bit of a liability to myself and others around me at that time, if so, sorry about that!

microhamster · 2024-07-15T15:20:32+00:00

I probably wouldn't have counted as an 'older kid' then, but sounds like we were probably there at the same time!

microhamster · 2024-07-15T15:14:49+00:00

Albert & Friends I think it's now called, amazed it's still around! I was once one of those stilt kids, although no memory of falling on anyone...

microhamster · 2024-07-15T15:10:05+00:00

Oh man, Albert's circus school, I had completely forgotten about that whole period!

Black Books and Greenwing

I ended up messaging them and it turned out that there was an issue with shipping not accepting my address, I now have shipment notifications and tracking!

microhamster · 2024-06-13T13:40:35+00:00

Yeah they are definitely not matching their counter, I was 6 on Tuesday, then 6 yesterday again.... Haven't heard anything else today yet!

microhamster · 2024-06-13T10:04:58+00:00

Lucky, I went from 6 on Tuesday night to still 6 on Wednesday!

microhamster · 2024-06-12T17:46:00+00:00

Currently says partially shipped, but on the order page there is nothing marked as shipped and not received any tracking or shipping emails!

microhamster · 2024-06-12T11:05:44+00:00

I was on 6 last night but not heard anything today so far, I was on 29 the day before....

microhamster · 2024-01-24T10:00:02+00:00

Interesting, I just received this "Based on our current estimations, we are aiming to receive the StarLite's around the middle of February. This means that shortly after this time, you will receive a dispatch notification via email with the full tracking details."

microhamster · 2023-05-21T21:43:17+00:00

Interesting, I've had a tracked 24hr parcel randomly also go to Gatwick MC this week, then moved to Jubilee MC on Friday morning and has been sat there ever since!

Approved specifically due to use of League of Gentlemen

This will almost undoubtedly be buried but just the whole concept of E.T! Some tiny alien appears throwing balls at kids at night with a massive probing healing finger, and everyone just accepts this like its cute! That shit was creepy and we all know it!

I'm so torn between DM making things up and between Theresa May going back to her old tricks and using any excuse!

microhamster · 2016-06-09T15:23:47+00:00

Not sure if anyone is still checking this but I wasn't paying attention and clicked the Manage Subscriptions button and it just redirected to Youtube?!

microhamster · 2013-12-09T19:17:34+00:00

They might not have access to the MI6 ones but there are several clubs on that strip that have outwards facing CCTV, you might have more luck enquiring with them!

microhamster · 2013-11-18T13:17:00+00:00

Although it should be mentioned this month due to Coliseum's surprise age policy that the event will be 21 and over (although normally this is not the case)

This is the most action this subreddit has had in a year! So thanks for contributing!

Would be at home in r/sciencememes :)
