Sheefa Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi guys, Bit of a bad day. Girlfriend has been ill with fever like symptoms the last few days, along with a very stiff neck, severe swelling in the throat and crazy headaches. She was taken by her mum to the GP the other day who said it was a bad virus, but should clear. Tonight she was taken to hospital by the MediDoc and has been diagnosed with a Menogocal Virus, basically pre-Meningitus. Think this is the one: http://www.vaccineinformation.org/menin/qandadis.asp She is being kept in tonight and they're keeping an eye on her. Only allowed one hospital visitor apparently, her mother, so I'm here shitting myself like mad. Looks like they caught it Ok and can be treated (I think), just hoping it doesn't develop further into full blown............daren't think about it! Fingers crossed she'll be Ok tonight.

terribleturner Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hhmmm sounds VERY like what i have just had. Fever going up and down constantly for 5 days, really bad sore throat which i still have over a week later. Very bad headaches on the line of migranes, and whole body aching. TBH i wouldn't be too worried as i think alot of people have it or have had it. Good luck all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Sounds as if they have caught it in time, thank god the doctor referred her and didn't just pass it off as severe flu. Hope she is better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my colleagues has had this too, seems like the worst flu/virus going at the moment, he's not been in work for over a week. I hope this is all she has mate, it doesn't sound pleasant but better than meningitis. Hope she feels better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob wild Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hope she gets better soon matey! Had something similar about 3 years ago it was very nasty! I was in hospital and off work for a good while but made a nearly a full recovery. When she's over the worst of it she'll just have to take it easy and let people ferry round after her for a while, well that's what I had to do anyway! Just keep an eye on yourself as well as mine started so fast! Anyway best wishes Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
