Thanks Diane for the info, I have not been tested for Lyme disease but can tell
you I now have ear aches in both ears and ear pain that comes on. They did the
MRI yesterday late afternoon but won't know anything for a few days, they don't
expect to find anything either since I still believe the viral part of
Meningitis did a major number on my vertigo and light sensitivity issues, I also
get the occasional nausea when the vertigo is really bad. It is now 6 weeks but
am glad I don't have the fever, chills or sweats, tremors anymore but the
balance, ear and vertigo issues are horrible and still unable to drive. :(

I am so sorry you have went through hell and back too! This is indeed the worst
and most sick I have ever been and thats topping any surgery I have ever had!
AMEN! do they run blood work to test for Lyme disease?

Thanks so much for all the info!
Huge HUgs,
Kimberly :)
