Since having LGI1 encephalitis, I’ve noticed that I react differently to jokes and teasing. Before the encephalitis, I never had this problem. Now for example if someone jokingly gives me a mean look, I can actually get angry, even though I know they’re just joking. It’s weird because I understand that it’s not serious but I still feel annoyed or angry in the moment. Has anyone else experienced something like this after LGI1 encephalitis? Especially increased irritability or stronger emotional reactions to things that didn’t bother you before?
