<p>[QUOTE="Aussie, post: 151454, member: 2830"]Now 5 months since I last drove a big rig and as I feared the Meningitis that started my downfall is still making life miserable for me.

I sleep 10 hours and I wake as tired as I went to bed - no desire to do anything, no strength to make an effort. Sometimes I think that God made a mistake in letting me survive. </p><p>When admitted, my body went into self protect mode - arms and legs had gone blue-grey, eight heated blankets on me to try and warm me up, cold packs to help bring my temperature down, headaches are still constant, still light sensitive, legs still play up.</p><p>Tears are something that come too often, depression is something I don't accept but I have it big time.</p><p>How does one deal with this?

[QUOTE="Aussie, post: 151454, member: 2830"]Now 5 months since I last drove a big rig and as I feared the Meningitis that started my downfall is still making life miserable for me. My mind is'nt what it was, fears I never had, caution that seems to border on triviality. Memories of the past, my childhood, even recent events have no start and no finish - everyday I struggle to remember what the day was and what I did and short term is virtually non existence. I don't know what it is to dream now as silly as that sounds. The Dr's offer no explanation as they seem to think I'm recovered fully but I know better as I'm the one running in confusion. I sleep 10 hours and I wake as tired as I went to bed - no desire to do anything, no strength to make an effort. Sometimes I think that God made a mistake in letting me survive. When admitted, my body went into self protect mode - arms and legs had gone blue-grey, eight heated blankets on me to try and warm me up, cold packs to help bring my temperature down, headaches are still constant, still light sensitive, legs still play up. Tears are something that come too often, depression is something I don't accept but I have it big time. How does one deal with this? An act of God, a test to see if I'm worthy of admission to Heaven, or just plain bad luck. Still getting constantly sick and it's something I've never had to handle before.
