YES! GO SEE YOUR GP. This is not normal. . . If your doctor doesn't
know, he or she can't help. . . that's the rule of thumb.
Just because you tell them doesn't mean they will drug you up. They
could find something else that has caused your issues For instance:
I'm still suffering from headaches 3 months after my hospital
discharge. I am going back in for a CT scan tomorrow to make sure my
sinuses are clear and that is not contributing to the problem.
Meningitis is not something that you get just once (like the chicken
pox). You can get it again and your symptoms can also present to be
something else entirely. If you're having those kinds of reactions,
you need to tell your GP.
