Oh my you are blessed to be alive! I am 2 years out from having meningoencephilitis. I was on life support 6 days and in the hospital 6 weeks. Had to learn to walk again, talk, and everything else because i had lost all my mucscle mass. The good thing about it i don't remember the weeks in the hospital. I have decided the dizzeness is not going away. The fatigue is always present even if i try to exercise. I havevlearned to rest when tired and be aware of the dizzeness. Wishing you thevbest.
