Basically it was the most uncomfortable thing of my life. It was a constant pain and I couldn't do ANYTHING.

I had to get a spinal tap, CT scan, blood work, and something else I'm forgetting.

Let me just say that a 4" blunt tipped needle going in your spine is one of the worst feeling you'll ever feel.
Thats sucks man. Symptoms sounds like the worst hangover ever.

So what are they doing for treatment? You don't have to be hospitalised?

I don't get vaccinated and I don't get sick Sorry just had to say it... I'm sure I had some vaccinations when I was young, but I can't remember the last time I got any kind of vaccine other than a tetanus shot (not rabies) after getting cut by a piece of metal.

I just refuse to get sick. I ain't got time for that

Pisses my wife off when she gets sick once a year or so and I get sick like once every 5 or 6 years and it only last like half a day...

Now if I drink too much that is a different story..

Definately glad you are OK. Its good that you went to the doctor. I usually try to tough it out but with Menengitis, i would be using up precious time.

I had a Menengitis scare yesterday. I started having fever on wednesday night and didnt sleep at all. I wasnt puking but i had a really sore throat and couldnt move around because i was burning up but shivvering at the same time. I finally took my temperature and it read 102.4. I then had a buddy drive me to the doc. Supposedly its Strep throat on steroids. Im still recovering with some antibiotics. The doctor told me that if i had menengitis, i would have already been on my way out of this world given the period of time i was feeling ill.


This reminds me....I need to get a shot for that ****. My mom keeps hounding me about it.
