my Dad is 59 years old and he is fighting with tb meningitis . Its been 3 months today and is getting even worse. He is suffering from gout and catched pneumonia 15 days ago and the doctors moved him to intensive care room . After the 1st month of the treatment he was better he couldn't stand and walk but at least sit and his brain was really fresh he could remember everything, then suddenly started to be confused again couldn't recognize the people, shaking stopped talking. Today the doctors said they are fighting for every single minute. He has so many different tubes supporting him and seems no chance for him. I don't want to believe that and still hope and pray. He is in Vietnam went back there on holiday . I live in UK and 36 weeks pregnant even can not fly to see him. I just wanted to share my story with all of you .I have never khew about this horrible desease how dangerous could be.

Thank you misswinky34, it's true I feel helpless horrible feeling. Today he is having blood transfusion and big problem also is very bad pressure sore all over the body. the doctors do what they can do and we just praying.
the pressure sore they said is actually medication allergy which is inside the body as well I really can't understand. Blood transfusion today , glucose, natri and sodium chlorid they said they are trying to keep him alive. So sad
