I am so sorry to meet you in a forum such as this. I had bacterial
meningitis, and each person is different. We are not doctors, nor do
we pretend to be. I would call your doctor. Headaches following
either viral or bacterial meningitis are common, and yet we are all
different. So, yes, they may go away, but that is not a guarantee
that they will. I hope, for you, that they do. And -- welcome to our
group. We are here for you, and together we can get through this. I
pray that soon yours will be history!

Eileen
