Quote:11. What are the long-term effects of meningitis?
The outcome of meningitis depends on the cause of the infection, how quickly treatment begins, and how ill the person becomes. However, these are possible long-term side effects of the disease:
Fatigue
Recurring headaches
Memory or concentration problems
Mood swings or aggression
Balance problems or clumsiness
Temporary or permanent deafness
Loss of vision, seizures, or brain damage (rare)
Loss of limbs
Really though, why don't you ask your doctor. Maybe you need to try another type of medicine or another kind of treatment.
