a girl at work has viral meningitis they think she has had it a couple of weeks.
well this week ive not been well at all, feeling sick, dizzy,drowsiness, stiff neck and headache.
i was hoping it would pass but its only getting worse.
what do you think i should do?
i really dont want to go A&E, will it just pass?

When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.

It wouldn't hurt to be safe.
Meningitis can be really dangerous and you seem to have many of the symptoms.
The fact that you have been close to an infected person makes your chance of having it more likely.
Take your temperature.
If it's high, i would recommend getting medical help as soon as possible.
my temp is 37.5 which is ok coz its under 38.
my mum said she is going to come home soon and if im worse she is taking me hospital.
i just dont want to waste peoples time.
the girl who has got it is my best friend at work so we are together quiet alot.
im going to go get some sleep until mum gets home.
thanks hunny.

It's probably better to get it checked out but to be honest it's more likely to be 'flu especially as Meningitis usually (but not always) develops within a couple of days, often a couple of hours and by the sounds of it you've had it longer than this. However, in some cases it can take longer. They often have similar symptoms and Meningitis tends to spread via direct exchange of bodily fluids such as kissing though it can be passed around if they cough/sneeze sraight at you/ drink very soon after from the same container. If you suddenly start to worsen get seen ASAP. If you develop a rash that stays when you roll a glass over it, also get seen; though this, along with all the other symptoms doesn't have to be present.
With things like this it is definately better to get it checked if you're worried/ it worsens
thanks for the advise everyone.
ive just phone my doctor and was told because it is viral the girl has i should to go a and e tonight because viral can be seen as flu and can stay for a while before someone picks up on it being meningitis, so when mum gets back im going to go a and e which im not happy about but hay.
thanks for the advise everyone.

All I know is that this guy living next doors to my parents got viral meningitis and at first it seemed like the flu but he got worse and eventually he couldn't even walk straight anymore and stuff like that. But he was sicker than you are (I think). Is some virus going around there anyway?
