[|Human|] Hi there.  Im 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- Ive 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.  Ive 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?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is possible that your symptoms are related to sequela of pneumococcal meningitis. And as your doctors said, it takes some time for these symptoms to improve. I feel doing an MRI now also would be helpful, as it would show if any part of brain was affected due to meningitis. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
