I contracted Encephalitis in 2020 & it turned my life upside down. I was left with a brain impairment & untreatable chronic nerve damage headaches. I’ve changed from being a high energy extrovert to a struggling introvert. That has significantly impacted my marriage, my physical health & capacity. I’m still recovering & trying to decide what type of career change is needed to something less cerebral & stressful. Sadly, I took my health for granted for years & am learning how to move on from this brutal life lesson.
