Hey there, don't freak out. I hope your hubby is ok. First things first, check what virus they think caused this in both of you, it may just be an awful coincidence. A lot of people DO make a fairly quick recovery ( or at least be well enough to be able to get back into a routine fairly quickly). What you see on here is the help for those that don't and those of us that haven't managed that. Rally the troops & get all the help you can with the children. Now is the time to ask for help & people will be more than willing to help. The important thing is for you both to get back to good health. Finally, ring the helpline, they're extremely supportive & may be also able to offer practical help. Sorry if I sound a wee bit bossy, I have gone into Mum mode & want to send you a big hug for strength.

Hi Hun I feel so much for both of you. You are in safe hands with the Doctors once you have completed the antibiotics you will get better soon.

My husband had meningitis and Brucella he started getting better as soon as he started his antibiotics so fingers crossed.

You take care Hun wishing you both a quick recovery.

Love Rob

there are no meds for viral meningitis....they just throw pain killers at you...it took me almost 2 months to kick the pain meds...started taking natural blackseed oil and making fresh smoothies everyday and lots of water...headaches are very minimal now and if I get one I can easily handle it. My energy and outlook is amazing :)

Hi Hun how are you feeling today?

I pray your kids are okay fingers crossed they won't get it.

I was the same when hubby got Meningitis and Brucella and I got Brucella I was terrified my boys might get it. Both were screened but thank God they were fine.

I was terrified for my kids didn't want them to go through what me and my hubby went through.

Xx
