(ADEM) or Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis??

[Tired of being sick]

The fact that I contracted chicken pox 3 TIMES! as a child, definitely has me scratching my head.
I contracted the measles as well(once)..
I also have higher levels of Epstein Barr Virus without any recollection of mono.
Anyone else have chickenpox multiple times?

Epidemiology
The exact incidence of ADEM is not known.In the past ADEM commonly followed
common childhood infections like measles, smallpox, and chickenpox) and was
associated with significant mortality and morbidity.Because of significant advances
in infectious disease control ADEM in developed countries is now seen most
frequently after non-specific upper respiratory tract infections and the aetiological
agent remains unknown. In a recent study by Murthy et al,,
., despite vigorous
attempts to identify microbial pathogens in 18 patients, only one patient had
Epstein-Barr virus isolated as the definite microbial cause of ADEM

My brother had chicken pox twice, not myself though.

I did have the flu shot after 2000, would go home and crash all night long, 12 hours of sleep or so, and also had treatment for my acne via accutane. Wonder if these things somehow contributed to me getting CFIDS?

My ME may be post measles, so I will have to look into this further. However there is no as yet identified evidence in me of focal or multifocal brain lesions.

Oh, I almost forgot,

I had Scabies as well or was the incredibly "itching rash" which was all over my body actually Lyme?

   I have researched for hours and now I am convinced that what I thought was scabies is actually a bacteria from Lyme disease from a tick.
