I've written about how I worry when I get a headache nowadays, but it is the same with any other symptom - nausea, trouble urinating, lack of appetite....
I can't remember the hundreds of other times I had experienced the same during my life, but remember the time it happened to me before I landed in the hopsital.
It is a feeling I cannot shake.
In June 2012, I contracted viral meningitis. I ended up paralyzed and on a respirator. There was some doubt that I would walk again, and if so, it would take two years for me to walk "normal enough," but I was able to do so in one year. I am still improving, for I am not completely recovered. This blog is to chronicle my experience recovering from spinal cord injury and pass along inspirational stories of others who faced medical situations.

My pre-hospitalization symptoms
I was cleaning up my desk today, and I found a torn out sheet of a memo pad in which I had written down the symptoms I was experiencing the week before I went to the emergency room.
Sunday evening - headache
Tuesday forward - Fever, but had dropped by 3 degrees by the time I went to the hospital
Fatigue
No appetite
Constipation
Muscle Aches
Tuesday - Saturday - facial pain
nausea
Tuesday and Wednesday - vomiting
I went to urgent care on Thursday and received some antibiotics, but on Friday, I developed:
chills, and the difficulty in urination began.
On Sunday, the day I went to the emergency room, I experienced dizziness, and was unable to urinate. Thank goodness I went, for five days later, i fell into a coma.
U[date on 7-19-13: This is an example of my memory problem - not really detrimental, but annoying - I hadn't realized that I wrote a similar post a couple days ago. I don't know if I am referring to the same sheet of paper. But I think I am.
