Welcome and can I just say how much I relate! I am 6 weeks out-post Meningitis
and well I still have the neck pain that radiates to the left side of my head up
to my crown area and can travel to the right side. I just got done final apts
with Neurology and had a catscan and MRI this past week. They have me on Advil
Migraine twice a day and Tylenol twice a day, spaced out and Valium for the
vertigo which do you have vertigo too? I was told the post symptoms can be just
as wicked as the initial virus. My left ear I lost hearing and I still get ear
aches and pain because the virus went into the inner ear fluid, could be till
summer before I feel somewhat normal again. I know how bad you feel and how much
it takes over your life. This is the absolute most sick I have ever been. I
think seeing a Neurologist and getting the tests run are important to make sure
no brain swelling but if all comes back ok really just treating the pain can be
with a good family doctor, the Neurologists can only do so much because this is
a virus I was told it must run its course and can be different from everyone.

Can you still drive? How high are your fevers?

Huge Hugs & Stay Strong!
