almost 4 years ago, and still have headaches. I am now on "citalopram" 40mg per
day. My headaches are not gaone, but they are not as severe. My head itself does
not feel like my head -- strange statement, but it is the only way I can
describe it.

Nobody comes but me, but sometimes maybe I just need to release all the
frustrations meningitis brings.

I've been trying to live with it but it affects everything. It got to the point
were my relationship with the father of my child almost ended. He gets so
frustrated he has to keep reminding me things and says I shouldn't have problems
the way I do. He's always telling me...no screaming at me "You're not right in
the head! How you can forget what I just said?" I don't have ne family members
to support me so it's just me and him and our son. He only speaks to his Father
so I have no one. They don't understand that I really struggle with this. They
think I'm a hypocondriac (how ever you spell it). I've been busting my butt by
myself since...umm...my some was born on the 6th I was rushed back to the
hospital on the 9th and discarged the 12th all within the same month...so since
the 12th (3 days after I was diagnosed) I was home alone taking care of a
newborn and on top of that I just got done with having a c-section. I've been
taking it a day at a time. I'm a very strong willed person but my patience is
running thin. Now I'm just running ragged. I can't even get a job because at my
interveiws I can't answer the questions because I get confused. I just need a
support group I guess haha since I don't have one at home.
