My sister developed symtems due to the West Nile virus., she is no longer able to hold her weight due to she has nerve damage in one leg and weak in the other. This has effected her neuro system and vision and she now has nerve damage in her upper and lower spine and right leg. My question is, how long will she have these systems and when should we start seeing any improvement as this has been going on since June 20th? What steps can her family do to help her improve her therapy to learn to walk again?
Hi, it might be late to think of what to do. Now only neurologists can do anything after the examination of the nerves, and muscles.  See that she may not develop anemia. Give her juices of palatable vegetables, like tomato, carrot, and beetroot etc., I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe injections of vitamin B1,6, and 12 for 10 consecutive days.  Give her green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods, to facilitate the recovery. Thank you.
