May of 2004 I had a case of bacterial meningitis. Well, I'm starting to have the same symptoms again and it's worrying me. Is it possible to get Meningitis more than once?

If you're having symptoms, I would suggest contacting your doctor ASAP. If your family doctor wasn't the one that treated it before, I would highly recommend letting them know that you had it before.

I do know there's also a viral meningitis, which has basically the same symptoms, and I don't think bacterial meningitis gives you any kind of resistance against a virus. I'd go and see a docter if I were you. [ Raeden's advice column | Ask Raeden A Question ]
