Meningitis can i live with it?

[Mikey7]

I was in a dorm with 200 people for 6 months with hardly no ventilation.......my question is can I live with bacterial meningitis for months or even years,or does it kill within days like everyone has told me....please help God bless.

Who told you that disease kill you! If you can speak with us it means you will be better! Even more better!

12 years ago I catched Tuberculous Menencoensephalit and I was fully paralysed for months years I laid in bed but after it I managed to raise from my bed I graduated university and just now I work at Hotel for years

Bacterial kills within days or hours.

If you got meningitis bacterial from the dorms others would also have it.

Viral could be but I would not know. Only way to know for sure meningitis is with lumbar punch aka spinal tap.

BM doesn't necessarily kill within days, I had it 25 years ago and I'm in reasonably good health. If you're really worried seek medical advice and of course try and live a healthy lifestyle Sorba
