Hi there. I'm a healthy 26 year old woman. Approximately 2 years ago I developed a sudden high fever and a miriad of symptoms. I was taken to ED where they ultimately diagnosed me (clincally) with pneumococcal meningitis. They had given me IV antibiotis for 2 days prior to testing my CSF for meningitis so CSF was clear.

Since then I have had difficulty focusing- I've been diagnosed with ADD. I have trouble with memory which seems progressive. I often trip over my left foot and I have tingling and a burning sensation along the left side of my body at times. I've been told it takes up to 1 year or more to recover from meningitis. I have never felt completely comfortable with the diagnosis. Unfortunately, MRI was not performed as an inpatient due to severe claustrophobia. CT scan was negative. They recommended follow up MRI but it was never ordered. I do not want to seem like a melingerer. I work in medicine and I am sensitive about such things. But I worry there is something looming that is not being looked into. I have always been a great compensator.

Any thoughts?
