Hi everyone. I had VM in March 2018. I'm so much better than I was but the tiredness is still a problem. I'm working full time and I feel like I'm being v unproductive as I can't seem to focus at all!

Anyone else find similar?

Hi there, I had VM in Oct 2017 and battling fatigue is still a daily struggle for me. Im the same, as in working full time and feeling very unproductive. I get Terrible brain fog still. Since having the meningitis and subsequent trips back and forth the GP and neurologist as a result, I'm now waiting for an appointment with a rheumatologist. My neurologist has diagnosed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. Tests along the way also showed very low Vit D levels, I now take medication every day for it, and other tests showed very low vitamin B12 levels. I have an injection every 10 weeks for this.

I'm not at all saying that this may be the cause of your tiredness, but just a few points of consideration. I've been lucky in that my GP has left no stone unturned to get to the bottom of things for me. And saw me every month after the meningitis.

Fatigue has been my biggest struggle since the VM and I was always a hundred miles an hour before it.

I hope today is a good day x

I met with a homeopath, who is also a registered R.N. and she put together a treatment for me that was a huge help with my struggle of constant fatigue and foggy head. Game changer

O yes, fatigue, still most of the time, 2 years since v/m in sept. Most all symptoms but milder but no vomiting and haven’t passed out in a while.

Yes, exactly my experience too - had VM Dec 2017. It's the braing fog and difficulty concentrating at work I really struggle with - it seems most people experience this post menigitis. I have found regular exercise to be helpful - and not being too hard on yourself.
