AN 18-YEAR-OLD Enniskillen woman is well on the pathway to recovery following her diagnosis with an autoimmune condition last Summer.
Caitlin Love spent two and a half months in a medically induced coma in the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast following a health scare that led to the young woman being diagnosed with Anti-NMDA Autoimmune Encephalitis.
Caitlin spoke to the Impartial Reporter following the marking of World Encephalitis Day this Monday, February 22.
Bravely describing her experience of the condition, she said: “The best way to describe it is inflammation of the brain. There is an infection somewhere on your body and it has transferred up to your brain.
