" Paul,
Get to a doctor or emergency room as fast as possible. If you don't, it could be fatal. I had viral meningitis and it almost cost me my life had I not got to the E.R. in time. Good Luck! "

" I have had some strange after effects like when i bend my neck down my right leg gets warm this went away to be replaced with nerve pain. I also get dizzy still and I can't retain info. The one major effect is fear I am so afraid of this coming back. The only people that understand me is well all of you who have been through it my family thinks im nuts when i forget where i parked my car I am 29 and sometimes i wander around trying to remember what i forgot i have good days and i have bad i just hope i can get to be back to normal eventually "
