A member asked:

Recovered from bacterial meningitis. now, when i have just a mild regular cold, body feels as bad/achy as i did in the hospital. why this reaction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not related: if you recovered from bacterial meningitis, you can certainly be affected by other viruses or bacterial infection from another source, I suggest a medical exam to include a CBC to test your body's immune system and ability ti fight off infection.
