Before trying: To determine if you have meningismus, ask yourself if there are other symptoms or even reasons for you to have meningitis. And if you think you do, sitting at home bending your neck and asking questions in an attempt to self diagnose is the last thing you should do. Head to the closest emergency department for urgent evaluation. Even seasoned emergency physicians are challeged by this diagnosis.
