Guest guest Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thursday morning I called an ambulance for my husband. Thursday night they started antibiotics, then Friday they did a lumbar puncture and discovered he had meningitis. Unfortunately, no one knows what kind of meningitis. The antibiotics may have knocked out the bugs by the time they did the puncture. No one has said anything to me about being treated, nor have they asked any questions about my health. After he was diagnosed, we all put on masks when around him (until yesterday). Of course, I was trying to help him before he was diagnosed. So today I called my doctor to see if anything should be done for me. She can't do anything until I find out what kind and they will never know what kind. So I guess I just watch for symptoms and hope I don't get it. dd **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hi DD: I was so sorry to read that your husband has been so sick. I hope he is feeling better each day. I would be concerned about my own health too. So much stress to wait and see if anything develops with you. I hope it passes you by. Take care, and I hope things get better for the both of you. I care. Hugs, Barbara > > Thursday morning I called an ambulance for my husband. Thursday night they > started antibiotics, then Friday they did a lumbar puncture and discovered > he had meningitis.
