: Not deadly but you should consult a neurologist to ensure that you do not have residual lesions and to ascertain if you need different treatment. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
