Hello All,
I had viral meningitis early December last year. I have had severe
headaches every since. They were off and on through Dec and Jan but
this month they came on with a vengeance and have not let up since.
When I realized that I took 80 Advil in 4 days, I went to the Dr
again. He mentioned post meningitis headaches and set me up for a CT
and referral to a neurologist.
That is how I found this website, THANK GOODNESS someone started it. I
thank all for sharing your stories. I know now that I'm not the only
one this is happening to and I feel more confident about my Doctors
diagnosis.
For all those who have gone though the CT and trips to the
neurologist, do you think this is a waste of time or do you recommend
me go through the process? Also, has anyone had these severe headaches
move from being the entire head and neck to primarily one side? My
latest episode started out to be the entire head and neck and moved to
my left side. Now, both eyes hurt and are sensitive to light, my
entire forehead aches and I have occasional fevers. My left temple and
jaw ache, my left sinus burns and the left side of my neck and head
throb. I was wondering if anyone shares these symptoms.
This is ruining my quality of life and I am so grateful to have people
to share this with.
