Someone I know got meningitis on boxing day and on xmas eve I had waved to them across a room so no close contact at all and only in the house for 2 minutes BUT today I have got a headache - most likely due to my damaged neck as this gives me headaches and wierd pressure sensations in head when I have done too much.
My silly question is do you always get a temperture with meningitis???
The logical part of my brains says that I would be very ill with high temp - the person I know collapsed after two days of bad headaches and his meningitis was probably caused by a previous bad infection in him that had spread to his brain - he is now recovering thanfully.
If I didn't know this other person then I would not think meningitis but of course health anxiety has kept this worry to the fore.
