Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] As an infant I suffered from rocky mountain spotted fever & meningitis at the same time...I have been told by my mother when she was alive that my fever went so high it scorched my membrane, I do suffer from memory loss, also my maturity level is very low for my age , I am 50 now and seems I act immature not meaning to...I say all the time , my brain hasn t caught up with my age yet jokingly.....could this be possible from my fever going so high as my mom has told me my fever went so high it busted the thermostat...is that possible?
[|AI|]  Hello, When the fever is not controlled effectively, and it rises high- it does affect the thermostat of the body and when brain tissue is involved-can lead to permanent damage.I'm sorry to say, but yes, your mother has informed you right (though she used a layman language, as, she must have been told by the treating team that time). Due to such dangerous side effects of uncontrolled fever-doctors advice public to take even simple fever more seriously and treat it effectively with proper antibiotics in time. The damage once done to the brain tissue cannot be reversed. Even person can develop epilepsy or handicap along with memory loss or lowering of IQ. However, the way you have written the question and the narrative, I must say that you have a good mind which has power of coordination. You are slow as you mentioned but with persisting efforts you are able to do things. Hope the reply helps you. Wish you good health.
