Meningococcal Meningitis.Edit: It's a fatal infection of the lining of the brain, which I somehow survived.
Meningacocsemia (totally messed up the spelling)

Eh? I never heard that name for it....
Originally posted by Disturbed AngelYeah, I had it when they didn't know what it was, so they had these reporters come in and interview me after everything.
shocking So did I..except that I was in quarantine for two weeks, not one. And I experienced temporary blindness and paralysis before I got better. I've got back problems now because of those spinal taps. 😕Eh? I never heard that name for it....
After it all happened I found out they were thinking about amputating my legs, that's how they had to stop it before me. They did the second spinal tap they gave me because the ****ing nurse messed up on the first one and got blood EVERYWHERE. But I never felt a thing. I always hear horror stories about Spinal Taps and I'm always like "meh, they're not so bad".
I get a ringing in my ear on occasion, that's about it. Scariest shit of my life, though.
