    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 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 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 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.
