I was diagnosed with viral meningitis three months ago. Presented with severe headache/eye pain and loss of vision and hot/stiff neck. Was also involved in auto accident day before ER presentation.
Was given prednisone for 2 1/2 months along with large doses of Skelaxin. MRI was negative for any lesions, cancer, etc. Still have episodes of headaches (although not as severe) along with eye pain and occasional vision disturbance (although no loss of vision as before) and still feel increased pressure in my head both during headache and even when headache/eye pain not present. Neuro doc just thinks my meninges are still inflamed and sometimes affected by MSG in processed foods. Others have told me I have symptoms (although not diagnosed by any tests) of MS or optic neuritis, vasculitis, or pseudotumor cerebral. What definitive tests can I have done to rule out any of these or get to bottom as to why I am still having neuro issues? Could this be a "neck" disc issue that has not been diagnosed?
Thanks
