Hi everyone,
I had viral meningitis almost 12 months ago. Unfortunately, I was misdiagnosed 3 times so I had to live with it for about 3 weeks before the treatment started. I spent 3 weeks in the hospital and almost 6 months home recovering.
Now it is almost a year and I am ok for the most of the time but once in two months I still experience dizziness sometimes, fatigue, I hear this whistling sounds in my head. I am not able to focus on the text, cant read. I have to avoid PC and TV. I cannot look at the products on shelves in stores for example because my head starts to spin a bit, especially if there is a lot of different shapes and colors. I have to avoid crowdy and loud places because I feel like my brain is overloaded with a lot of information. It usually starts with a headache but nothing too serious. This headache lasts for a couple of hours, then it goes away and all of these symptoms come right after that. I cant function normally for a week and then I am ok again.
Is it normal to have these symptoms after almost a year? Also, I feel like that meningitis left some kind of fear in me. Every time I feel a little ache in my head or heart I start to panic and worry about my health. It's so exhausting...
Thanks for your feedback in advance!
Mark
