Chronic meninigitis: The more common causes of chronic meningitis include cryptococcus, tuberculosis, and other less frequently encountered organisms. Go see your doctor and if indicated they may want to do a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) since this is the best way in which to exclude this diagnosis.

The Flu Season: Nope. Without fever or neck pain this is very much unlikely to be meningitis.
