A member asked:
I'm sick, had a fever 100.9 but went back down today, & a slight headache with body aches. my neck hurts & wants massage. do i have meningitis?

Viral infection: I doubt you have meningitis unless your neck is so stiff that you can't move it. The fact that you're able to type this question also argues against meningitis. But if your fever worsens, if you feel sicker, get inordinately drowsy/somnolent, or if the symptoms accelerate in the next 24-48 hours, get checked out at an ER or by a doctor. In the mean time, drink plenty of water & take care.
