forming a cyst??? about the size of a lemon. I think the diag'd it as eosinophilic, to keep it under the radar. Statistics, for NECC show not one meningitis case in Connecticut. but here I am.

That diagnosis is like saying you a diagnosis of a a sneeze, when you really have pneumonia

Hand tremors, speech difficulties, walking into dorr frames.

Any comments, or has anyone had similar leakage.

well, had a shunt put in 3 weeks ago, had terrible headaches, pain, etc for 2 weeks. It supposed to lower the pressure in the spinal canal, so it can heal, and drain the fluid into the stomach middle lining.

starting to see some light, but would like to see some criminal charges against NECC, and the local hospital.
