A member asked:
Normal to still have bouts of flu-like body aches/fatigue where im in bed for days- five months after meningitis recovery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This isn't normal: under any circumstances. Perhaps you haven't really had a "meningitis recovery." Perhaps there's another source of infection or inflammation. Perhaps something else is going on that's causing your symptoms. In any case, this isn't normal. Please see your doctor. Dr. Anne
