my entry to "Post Meningitis Headache" Mood
Friday, April 24, 2009 | A Call For Help story

 

I had viral menigitis 2-28-09.  I was hospitaled for 9 days.  I was treated like a drugie because I could not speak or only use simple words.   I have lost my health insurance due to horrible employer and have having to rely on the "SYSTEM"  yeah right.  I saw a neursugeon in Orange County, CA on 4-7-09 because the hospital said I had "WATER ON THE BRAIN" then discharged me and told me "IT WOULD GO AWAY".   I found Hydrocephalus Association and the Hydrocephalus Foundation who referred me to Michael G Muhonen, MD, who told me I did not have Hydrocephalus but I did have "Post menigitis headache"   I have a letter from him stating that I need anti-inflammatory treatments for 12 mths and there is still a 25% chance this is life long.   I cannot find a doctor who will treat me.    I am being told by county GP's that its just a headache.  if it is just a headache the I think they should experience it.  My understanding is most GP's, Neurosurgeons, Neurologists dont know how to diagonise this or how to treat it.
