A member asked:
Saw immune, id, hema., neuro.labs all ok, told i should be ok now, 6 mos. ago recovered meningitis- still weak w/ flu aches. what can they be missing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
My opinion: Unlikely your doctor team is missing anything, as can take a long time to recover from meningitis. Although typically full recovery by 6 months, have seen lingering symptoms even out to 10-12 months, but almost invariably there is a slow steady improvement.
