Hi everyone,
I had bacterial Meningitis last September. I fortunately didn’t have any permanent damage and am recovering well. I went back to work in November. I’m writing because over the last week I’ve been experiencing daily headaches. Feels like a build up of pressure at the front of my head. It’s not debilitating but it’s making me nervous. Is there any need for repeat scans or me to see a dr? Or is this just residue headaches?
Any comments welcome.
Thanks,
Sarah
Hi Sarah..Glad to hear that you’re recovering well from your bout of Bacterial Meningitis, without any permanent damage. I, too, recovered from bacterial meningitis and sepsis back in June 2016 and, very thankfully, as like yourself, have not experienced any lasting after-effects. It was the ongoing headaches which persisted with me also, for several months, but they did eventually fade away, much to my relief. Our brains have taken quite a battering with this disease and it does take some time for things to, hopefully, settle down. I do wish you well and would like to reassure you that, in most cases, these headaches do diminish over time. Obviously, if they persist, it would be worth getting this checked out with your doctor. Sounds like you’re doing brilliantly. Try not to be nervous, but let time be your healer. All the best.

Thanks Roger. Sometimes all I need is a bit of reassurance. This has helped ☺️
