  1. I not only had chicken pox, but then had Reye's Syndrome, a rare but often fatal sequela--that includes inflammation of the brain.

    No doctor has thought there was a link between Reye's (at 3yrs) and unexplained brain hemorrhage (at 45yrs). But I think I need to track down the authors of those studies.
