I myself had bacterial meningitis last April I am fighting every day, left me with massive headaches every day but leaning to accept them , back at work full time now. All I can say is keep fighting it and hopefully you will learn to live with it. But as my wife says I am still alive 🙏 anyone reading this take care time is a healer

3 months ago, my wife was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. It was a huge shock for me - and we have 7-months-old baby. Currently she suffers from migraine/ headaches every day (non-stop).

My husband has had bacterial meningitis he's still in hospital but waiting to go home hopefully this weekend, his hearing has been affected but that's no big deal atm, he will have antibiotics given still intravenously by the community nurse, he hasn't had any other side effects so far, so wondering if these come later, he's in his 5th week I hospital.
