Hi @matthewjacobus17 , It almost sounds like you may have meningitis! Did they tell you if that is what they suspected when they did the lumbar puncture? Is your neck stiff along with the headaches and nausea? If so Mathew I would advise you to get to a hospital PDQ as meningitis is nothing to mess with. Depending upon the type you can go deaf, blind or even die.
Even if they say they checked go to a different hospital, it may have been to early to detect or they may not have read the report right or got it mixed up, or who knows. The important thing is that if you have the signs you need to get checked.

@matthewjacobus17, I agree with @overwhelmed that you need to be seen again ASAP. While we can't provide medical advice on here Connect, we can recognize when something might be serious enough to recommend that you be seen again. I think your situation warrants this.

@matthewjacobus17, would you mind coming back to tell the community how you are doing or what you have found out from your lumbar puncture?
