Unlikely: You would not be coherent enough to type out the question if you had a true case of bacterial meningitis.

Agree with Dr. F.: Regular exercise would help by improving you muscle tone. Exercise need not be targeted to neck muscles. Any exercise, waling, jogging, treadmill, cycling, elliptical and weight training will all help. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine

Not meningitis: People with meningitis are not feeling fine and they often have difficulty moving chin to chest. If your symptoms resolve in minutes to hours, do not worry.
