I am 50 years old and was diagnosed with VIral meningitis 6 months ago. I now suffer from sharpe pins and needles in my hands and feet especially at night. Also I have never regained my normal energy levels , has anybody else had a similar experience?

Thanks

Hi. I am 35 years old and was diagnosed with viral meningitis in December 2018. Sadly, I do experience the symptoms you describe. It is difficult however for me to tell you that these are all from meningitis as a few weeks later, I had myelitis as a result of the first illness. I have severe tiredness, nerve pain, pins and needles, numbness and severe headaches. I suffer with lights and uneven noise. Having said that, I am back working full time (I am self employed though so have flexibility) and home educating my two children so I am managing to live a so-called normal life.

Yes, on the feet I experienced a similar symptom when I was attacked by Meningitis in 2017. The pain has subsided but I still have numbness of my feet.
