I had spinal meningitis when I was a baby. They had "lost" me three times before it was all over. Doctor said I was going to be fine, just will have migraines the older I get, and they will get worse. My question is, since I've had it once already right after I was born, I am 34 now, can I contract that again? I have no health insurance, no doctor. Any opinions, advice, you name it would be awesome! Thanks

Once you've had meningitis your odds of getting it again increase. Get vaccinated asap against any and all types you can. I know it can get a bit expensive, but it's way cheaper than another hospital stay and all the negative health that can come from meningitis. I simply skip one meal every other day or take all my change at the end of the day and toss it in a jar and skip that extra non essential item at the store or whatever and sooner than I think I have the money saved for things like that.
