A member asked:

Bacterial meningitis 2 yrs ago, but i believe im having repeat viral episodes. head/body aches, low fevers on regular basis. what specialist to see?

Start with Ur doc: A past illness of this type does not make you more or less likely to get the common sort of illnesses. Start with your regular doc and s/he can decide whether you need a specialist care & would likely know who was available. In the meantime a good exam and review of your problem may be settled with that first visit.
