I had bacterial meningitis this summer. My headaches lasted for two
months. I've heard about other folks ending up with migraines after
meningitis. Knock on wood, I haven't had one in a month, which is
about how long I've felt truly all better.

I don't think there's a lot of post meningitis documentation but I
found this link useful.

Good luck.
