Meningitis: The only way meningitis can be diagnosed is with an assessment by an MD with a lumbar puncture. So if you think you could have meningitis see a doctor now. It is a much too important to miss. I hope you have good health.

Meningits: may cause a fever above 103 degrees, & a headache that is severe and constant. Neck stiffness will prevent one from fully flexing the neck. REF: https://www.spine-health.com/conditions/neck-pain/when-neck-stiffness-may-mean-meningitis. Doesn't sound like meningitis.
