Stick with it Sorma, it's such a slow process and a very long journey to get anywhere near normal again but you definitely will. I'm nine months down the line and getting there surely but slowly. Small steps and one at a timeTake care

Well I am 61 and had meningitis 3 years ago. It has totally changed my life. I have had to slow down and rest between activities. I have to let my mind rest. Stress really fires me up and I get overwhelmed much easier than before. Physically I get tired really easy. I still get numb spots and my ears ring. Balance sucks and feet are numb. But I am still going and still working. I just have to be quiet at times, read, and not dwell on this evil sickness. We can do this. But I am still pissed it happened. I would way rather have COVID than meningitis again.

Good luck and hugs to you from the USA.
