I have had recurring meningitis since I was a child. All the viral panels have
come back negative, including varicella, herpes simplex 2, etc. I am 41 years old
and it's getting a lot harder to rebound back. Any ideas on where to go from
here? I've had 6 or 7 hospitalizations, numerous spinal taps, and I really
am at a loss. There have been other times where the doctor has said "yes you have
it, stay home and in bed." According to family and what I can count up, the total
times I have had it now is 10 known cases. I would really appreciate any help
you could give me. Or any ideas on where to go from here. Thanks.
