    I survived a bacterial meningitis when I was 9 years old. I came through without any ailments. The doctors were so surprised and were so confused as how I came through without any major chronic ailments. I decided to find out why. This video makes me feel so lucky and greatful

    I had meningococcal meningitis twice, when I was 17 and 21. My 2nd time also ended in a coma but luckily it has not lead to such serious long-term consequences.
    I have finally found a doctor (after a very long search because barely any doctor has knowledge in this field) who diagnosed me with a complement deficiency (a congenital immunodeficiency) now I'm on medication and hopefully never get it again but I advice everyone to go to an immunologists if they ever had a bacterial meningitis after the age of 5 because I would have loved to know this the first time and not have to experience it a second time especially since it is such a life-threatening disease.

    i survived meningococcal septicaemia when i was 2 years old my parents always said if i'd pull through i would be able to have a dog, fortunately as they wished i pulled through and i got a dog....
    ...unfourtunately just this week we had to have him put down.
    to any one out there or any families just know you're not alone at all, i know it can feel like that sometimes but you really are not alone in any shape or form!

    I had this when i was 14, within 12 hours of being absolutely ok, the GP said if I don't get to the hospital now, I would be dead in a few hours, I was in hospital for 2 weeks, 1 week was in a coma, luckily I came out with out loosing any limbs or other side effects.

    I got bacterial meningitis at birth and had a very slim chance of surviving or surviving without physical or mental disabilities. Luckily, I survived with zero physical health issues & only mild mental health issues.

    I developed viral meningitis at 18 in 1978. Went to school with a sore throat from a head cold, within a few hours I was in real trouble.

    Hello. I'm from Panamá. Believe it or not I had meningitis more than twice. No doctor has been able to find the reason of my problem. I have lost a substance we have in the brain, I think it is mieline in the left side of my brain. It was shown by different MRI I have been done. According to some neurologists I suffer small seizures and I've got to take medications for all my life, Lamotrigine. I completed high school and university late, but thanks God I did. My case has been very weird, strange, a mytery here. No doctor understand it. They haven't found the cause and don't know if it can happen to me again. I can say it's a terrible illness. One of the times I suffered it I was in coma for around 21 days. I had to take physical therapy for several months. Greetings from Panamá City.

    I had meningitis spring-summer when I was just 7, the first symptoms reaching me was high fever (39.9C), headache, sensibility to light, inability to move and memory loss. The following hour got really scary because I had to go to the falun hospital, I was in the emergency room and was there for 3 years, they treated me with 12 ice-cream, 12 grape juice and they checked my blood, my blood type was O > A > B > AB. When I came home I still could walk but after days, I couldn’t walk again for 1 month?? then the last days I got nose bleed.
