Hi guys

Alot of you (well, most) don't know me but I have been away for 2 weeks in hospital.

Meningitis.

I just wanted to take the time to let you guys know what happened to me so as if anything similar happens to you, you csn get immediate help. It happened on Thursday 12th with a headache that I cannot describe, and to cut a long story short it gripped me so fast and so hard you cannot imagine. If ANY of you get a headache like that and then become photo sensitive (cannot deal with light) then HOSPITAL STRAIGHT AWAY. I never had any rashes at all so if you don't please don't think it can't be miningitis. I'm living proof it could be.

It could have quite well killed me, but it was caught early and ttreated with some of the strongest antibiotics there are. I had the bacterial variety and have responded very well to treatment they let me home last night but still have to go back 3 times a day for more antibiotics.

This is serious stuff guys.

I'm very very weak in real terms, my co-ordination is lousy and I am sleeping for England but on the mend. Typing this has been a real challenge as I keep punching the wrong keys. I've checked my spelling etc and it corrected what I can find but if there are others, I apologise.

Please guys - be careful.

Stuart
