Viral Menengitis is HIGHLY contagious and extremely dangerous. As soon as I read your symptoms I knew that is what it was because two years ago a girl that I pledged with, her blood sister got it. It can literally kill you, cause brain damage, it makes people have to have amputations, and rehab for a long time. That is a serious illness to have and although it is sad, it is completely avoidable. THere is a shot you can get to protect you, and it is found mainly on college campuses. Anyone who had been in contact with you for forty eight hours needs to get innoculated. I mean people that you drank after, laughed or coughed on, kissed, etc. Close encounters, not the guy you sit in front of in math.
I only know because my pledge sister told us all and we learned a lot. With a case of it, it can spread rapidly and if you don't know the warning signs, many people just shrug it off as the flu and that lets it progress until you may have brain damage.
COnsider yourself lucky.
I am so glad that you are okay, and thank all of your sisters for taking care of you for me!
