Hi all I had bacterial meningitis with staphylococcal and sepsis in 2003 I got up on a Friday morning I got up and my legs and bony felt like I had the flu my wife worked in the same office next desk.So I returned to bed.IHad been out side in the rain quad bikeing the 3 days before

So I am told by my wife I asked her to call a ambulance at about 1am A ambulance car came he did his cheeks and could not find any thing wrong As he was leaving a 2 man ambulance turned up and where not happy by this time I was in and out of conseseness I arrived at hospital and the boss looked at me and did not know what was wrong. He thought I had a chest infection or I had a stroke or even a heart attack They put me on very stronge antibiotics ANy way they ought me round 4weeks later I was deaf I was so weak I could not move my hands wherlocked in a fist and I could not hold any thing in my hands I had kidney problems any way I know it's 14 years On now ho I died twice in icu but does any one like me think I suffered post dramatic stress disorder I was told my balance was so bad I not walk again AsI said to this day I still have lots of problems would any one know how I get a diagnosis on this the only person who as said any think was my mental health counciler

sorry if does not make a lot of sense but my memory is crap and so as u may have guessed is my typing

To any one who gets this far I thank you
