back pain from scapula down, sore throat, headache, chills and shivers, mood swings, but no fever, is meningitis still a possibility?

Possibly: Hi. There are many types of meningitis, some of which are not associated with fever. Fortunately, meningitis is rather uncommon. Any neck stiffness? Bothered by looking at bright lights? Cough or night sweats? You should see your doctor. A spinal fluid analysis may be indicated (or not - your doc will advise you on this).It may just be a pharyngitis with muscular back ache. Ask your doc. Good luck

Sore throat for three days, red bumps in back. Neck and shoulders hurt mildly. Also bit of a headache right in the back. I feel a bit better than yesterday though. Does this sound like a virus? Could it be meningitis? No fever though.
