429949 tn?1224691579 Quix, I was wondering if you knew the answer to this question? Could meningitis of any type show up as white matter lesions? If so would they look the similar to MS lesions. And if a person did have meningitis would it still show up on spinal tap eight months after the onset, or would it be cleared out of the spinal fluid by then?
Avatar f tn I don't know if I have Trich or not but I was wondering if taking Ciprofloxacin 500mg 2x daily would cure it?
Avatar m tn hi, i have been having mild symptoms which suggest some sort of meningitis in my opinion. basically it started two years ago with spasms in the tummy. and then spasms in my limbs, back as well as eyelids (twitching). from then on in the months to come, the above symptoms come and go, each time new symptoms accompany it. i experienced dull headaches at the back of the head. tingling sensation at the same area as well as down my spine.
Avatar n tn I've had a runny nose and cough for two months, along with a sore throat off and on (more on than off). No congestion. No sinus pain. No ear problems. Continuous symptoms, not a day in two months without. It started with a bad cold I had caught, and these particular symptoms never went away. Spring/summer is in full swing now, and my first guess would be that it's allergies, but I've never had this problem before. Itchy eyes and throat, yes, but not this.
Avatar m tn Hi! I'm 22 years old guy, I have a pharyngithis and tonsillits for 2 weeks, the doctor gave me 5 day ciprofloxacin ( I don't know if it works for tonsillitis ) and 7 day nimesulide. In the second day taking the ciprofloxacin, my throat pain went away and until now just the pharyngithis and tonsillits persistis.
Avatar m tn Anyway, several months later I am in the hospital for meningitis after having a bad fever, headache, and stiff neck for two days. The CSF tests came back a few days later while I am still in the ICU, and the doctor said that it was herpes. I am very skeptical of this. First of all, they were trying to push me into agreeing that it was influenza instead of meningitis, and only after the LP did they stop pushing that on me.
Avatar f tn I recently went back to the doctor's office for a IgG test because I was told by a former partner that he may have HSV2 last year. I never had an official breakout but shortly after I started getting leg pain and sacral pain and the following month after coming back from vacation I got viral meningitis. I researched and found that nerve pain is associated with Herpes and that viral meningitis is also.
Avatar m tn I am confident in both these procedures and plan to follow these recommendations, to hopefully kill off the virus and inflammation for once and for all. The vitamin/mineral IV successfully cleared up an intractable case of pneumonia for me that had not responded to three increasingly strong rounds of antibiotics. So I'm describing all this here for those who have not gotten rid of their viral meningitis after a few months and are still suffering.

Avatar m tn I worry that she got meningitis? Also, its possible she got a parasite. How long since she was in Mexico? Do you know if she ate any pickled pigs feet or anything raw? Firstly, have you checked her temperature? It is good she is going to a neurologist due to her symptoms. Stress is ridiculous it doesn't cause hallucinations and swollen lymph nodes! Unbelievable. I think a CT or MRI of the brain/neck would be a good thing to make sure there was no head trauma as well.
1936550 tn?1348360208 My baby girl has meningitis. They are finding out if its viral or bacterial. Please pray for my baby that its just viral. She will be one month on the 14th. I'm scared for her and have been crying non stop. Its hard waiting for the results. Please everyone pray for my baby.
Avatar f tn I had meningitis at the age of 5 and I was in a car wreck in 1996, I had a cervical fusion and dissection. I am having pain similar to a sciatic nerve and lack of mobility in my legs it used to only happen when I would sweep, weed the garden movements such as that but, now it is almost daily and I have had an MRI, nerve conduction & X-rays (waiting to see the Dr. next week for complete results) so far the only issue that they have told me is that I have arthritis in my lower spine.
Avatar f tn my 5 yr old daughter just got out of the hosp for meningitis........they could not give me a 100% answer but they are sure it was bacterial meningitis! no one told us how she got it, all they said was that i did the right thing by taking her to er asap! friday morning she told me her head hurt when she looked down and me being a nurse i thought meningitis but "what are the odds" so i took her to daycare and told them to call me if she got sick!
Avatar f tn About 2 days ago I ate a sort of cold piece of KFC chicken then went out and ate a shish kabob, woke up with a bloated stomach and after fighting with myself for hours, I finally threw up, I fell asleep and when I woke up I was extremely nauseous and I couldn't even stand without losing my balance, I had diahrrea and gases for the whole day and my neck and lower back was hurting and it was giving me a headache, I didn't eat anything the whole day, just drank plenty of Gatorade and ate 1
Avatar m tn I do not have a fever or headache, nor sensitivity to light. But, is it possible that I contracted meningitis from the toliet water after using the pipe and handling the keys? Last Sunday, I started the gym again and did vigorous ab exercises (sit ups and crunches) after a year-long haitus. I also did arm exercises with weights. I noticed my arms were sore the very next day but my neck and back started feeling sore about three days later.
Avatar f tn You should get ahold of your doctor if you're sick and that early, especially with a fever.
Avatar f tn The only possibly symptom is that I feel tired but that could be through getting up early in the morning for work. Could this be early meningitis or sepsis??
