Doing OK!!

Hello All or no one! (Whichever it may be!)

The doctor has put me on new meds now for a month. It has mitigated most of the headaches so my body can heal itself.

The beginning of November my doctor referred me to a neurologist. The neurologist said that my body had gotten stuck in a catch 22. He said that the meningitis causes the headaches and other symptoms which then sidetracks my body into dealing with those instead of the swelling around my brain and spinal column. And because it is not getting rid of the swelling it is just causing more symptoms.

The new meds leave me feeling like trash most of the time. However I am willing to put up with that so my body can get rid of the meningitis.

When I feel up to it I sew a bit.

This experience has changed my outlook on life. I now consider any day that I am above the ground to be a good day!!! I keep reminding myself that their are others that are way worse off than I am!!!!
