Meningitis & Septicemia

[craigiep]

My eldest brother has just miraculously survived Meningitis which developed into Septicemia. Have any of you, or anyone you know, survived this and if so what have been the after-effects? I'd really like personal accounts, so please don't direct me to websites with info on the disease. Thank u.

Our son had meningitus as a youngster. He survived but up till then had never heard how dangerous it was. With the temperature at over 105 degrees and the spinal injections it caused a great deal of worry. I believe there are two main types one a virus and the other a bacterial strain which I believe is worst of the two. He is now a very healthy lad as the disease was caught early.
