Headache caused by Meningitis as a baby

1 Reply

I had meningitis as a baby, and I'm 25 years old now. I can't really remember whether the headaches were that bad during primary school, but I remember it like yesterday that during secondary school the headaches got really bad, and up until today its constant and never ending. It would start slow at the back of my head, and the next moment it would hit me like a truck, especially behind my eyes. And its getting worse and worse, that I can't even open my eyes at times. I would wake up with a headache and go to bed with a headache, every single day for several years now!

Apparently there is no cure for people who had this as a baby, except for dealing with it.

So if anyone has any advice, please do share!??
