Well guys been a while for me posting on here. Oh and what a time it’s been since my son had meningococcal back in late October last year. Think I took to hiding myself and feelings away. Anyway the past couple of weeks he’s started complaining of real bad headaches and feeling sick and then actually being sick. This as now started worrying me as it seems there isant any stop to the side effects that go with this disease.

Sorry I have no good news for you, only my own experience and it took 20 years for my doctors to connect my chronic migraines to Meningitis,
