Hello everyone,


I am now on 5 weeks out since getting viral meningitis. My fever,
chills, sweats and tremors have stopped and for the most part not
getting the non stop migraines anymore but did have a migraine attack
but only lasted less than half a day however I have been getting
almost 18 hours a day vertigo, extreme off balance feeling too and
neck aches, headaches unlike the neck pain and migraines. My doctors
think it is far too far out since the initial viral meningitis attack
as well not having any fever, etc but as well are surprised regarding
my horrible balance issues that I honestly have not been able to
drive since 5 weeks ago and very rarely can get out of the house due
to the store lighting in most places makes my vertigo much worse.
They are doing an MRI tomorrow of my neck and brain, although went
through a CT 2 weeks ago and found nothing they are not expecting to
find anything on the MRI either however what the heck can one do for
the almost constant vertigo? I know this has to be from the virus
because prior I would have occasional vertigo with occasional
migraines but still functioned. This is just horrible! I am down to
only taking 1 advil migraine a day and 1 extra strength Tylenol which
is little compared to 800 mg of ibuprofen and 3 Tylenol's a day I
used to be on.

Any suggestions, ideas please let me know! :)
Thanks so much everyone, Huge Hugs,
Kimberly :)
