Sorry to hear bout your illness. I just wanted to let you know that my
wife had viral meningitis a few weeks ago and experienced severe
headaches off and on for about a month afterwards. Luckily, the
headaches have since deceased. A neuro she went to said that headaches
afterwards were common. Hopefully you will be as lucky as my wife
was! Good Luck
