Hello Shelly,


I took only get temps up to 100 with the Post part but when the virus first
kicked in was spiking 102 so that head me to the hospital.

I get the vertigo still about 70 percent of my day, I haven't drove in going on
almost 2 months, it is indeed wicked! I too have gone through many, many
surgeries and honestly would rather did with that pain than this nightmare, even
all my docs agree I have never been so sick or more like felt so sick. My last
of the symptoms are the vertigo, headaches but they all start at the base of the
neck and of course my right ear hearing loss and ear aches, pain.

Praying there is light at the end of the tunnel for all of us! AMEN! :)
PS: Have you gotten the Meningitis vaccine yet?
Huge Hugs & Many Blessings,
Kimberly :)

honestly say the cancer did not hurt, it was all the treatments and surgeries it
took to get rid of it. This has been painful and, so far, I see no light at the
end of the tunnel.

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

virus I was told it must run its course and can be different from everyone.
