Seeing infectious diseases consultant this morning.

I have had symptoms for decades. It feels to me like more minor recurring meningitis. Five years ago at this Infectious diseases clinic, They diagnosed me with CFS/ME. It was the only thing they had left.

Five years ago I didn’t know about recurring meningitis. Know that I do I am going to ask them whether it could be recurring meningitis. Knowing my usual bad luck I will probably meet someone who knows nothing about meningitis and insist that it can’t reoccur. What kind of information can I show them on my phone That will help them to actually take me seriously?
