Does this look like a meningitis rash?

Its not red or pink they look mre orangey. But when I press them they do not fade.

I have no other symptoms and feel completely normal and even done the gym. Should I be worried? Could it be the start?

Nope, the rash is usually a late meningitis symptom.

I've already been down that rabbit hole this month. The key thing about meningitis is that it makes you feel really, really ill, though.

How did you get over the fear? I showed my mum and she couldn't really see what I was on about, but I've made it really red by poking and prodding it!

It wasn't the rash, it was my husband's severe flu symptoms, and I mostly dealt with it when I then got a bad stomach bug and didn't have the energy to care about anybody other than myself ;)
