    I'm back.

    Question: Where've you been?
    Answer: In a coma!
    Question: Why?
    Answer: I had both meningitis and encephalitis

    What a wonderful couple of weeks it's been, I think the best part though is that I returned home tonight from hospital and my flat had been broken into by the fire brigade because of a water leak

    So yes, if any of you suffer from headaches, don't take them lightly, because that was the only symptom I had.

    Oh the excitement, but it's nice to have the Internet back in my life

    Nothing at all, it's just a black area for me. I remember waking up on the life support machine as well as them pulling all of the tubes out of my throat/nose. I had tubes going into my neck directly to my heart and brain. My brain is still pretty messed up and I have to have follow-ups to check I'm okay.

    The only issue I have at the moment is the shakes and flashbacks (because I lost a lot of memory, so it slowly comes back in flashes). They expect me to make a full recovery, however I'm not allowed to drink or drive for the next year which is a shame because it's my 21st this month!

    Fortunately only 2 days, otherwise I would've been much worse off. I'm still really fuzzy, I tend to repeat myself a lot which is a bummer as people sit there and tell me I have, of which I can't remember and it just makes me frustrated with myself

    Blimey! I hope that your recovery is a speedy one.

    Not being able to drink or drive for a year is a bummer, but its better that you are here with us I feel.

    Take care of yourself!

    Get well mate. Meningoencephalitis is scary enough when you see it from the other side.
    Not around too often!
