Post meningitis
Hi everyone..my now 9 years old daughter had a meningitis when she was 4 n half. She struggles at school, she became a stutter and almost not willing to talk most of the time. It's killing me to see her suffer in her childhood. She doesn't want to play with other kids because of the way she speaks,

Foot/mouth hand or something else??
Does anyone know what this is. It started with red burning spots then turned into patches. Then I had chicken like pox all over my body and face. Hands rashes are similar to feet. But my thumbs are going white too and thin skin. Anyone know what's happening. I'm very stressed. Doctors are not helping

Viral meningitis
My 17 year old daughter was diagnosed with viral meningitis last weekend and this was confirmed on Monday. Initially she was given antiviral and antibiotics because they was unsure if it was bacterial meningitis. She had been unwell for 5 or 6 weeks. Permanent headache that painkillers didn't touch

Chickenpox
Hi, Just wondered what your recommended hints and tips are for relief from chickenpox for my DD who is 2! How long did your children have chicken pox for and how unwell did they become? Unsettled nights etc. Thanks in advance x
