Viral Meningitis clinical study?

Does anyone know if there is a clinical study out there on Aseptic Viral meningitis? I cane down with it after having Epidural Steroid Injections in my lumbar spine. Every time I ask the Doc's about this fact I hear " I've never heard of this happening" I don't plan on suing I just want to make sure nobody else has to endure this horrible disease? This is just crazy. Now my family Dr. told me I'm more susceptible to getting it again. GREAT any info please let me know.
Thanks
Nan

" I caught the exact same thing Aug of 2008 they could never determine the cause words i kept hearing where Strange, Miricle, and I should not be able to walk, eat, or talk I didnt have any surgurys or shots I just awoke to a horrible headache and it started a 3 month battle to survive. From what i have read after getting this it is usaul less likely to get it again but not impossible I honestly feel your pain you are a strong person and i will tell you this if you have been seeing the same person for your issues I would seek a 2nd oppinion from a infectious disease specialist mine saved my life "

" Thanks.... Once you get it you can feel each others pain. The first time I had it I hallicinated for about a week. Was kind of like a dream kept thinking people were trying to hurt me. I will never forget the day I came out of it, my husband and childrem were so relieved. I nightmare I wouldn't put on my worse enemey (not that I have any). The second round I just had the blinding headache the first time 2 weeks hospital the 2nd not as bad 1 week.

Doc's told me chances are pretty high I will get it again.
Thanks for the post Stay Healthy! "
