BruceVC Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Got rushed into the ICU the previous night with Mengitis (infection in the brain), I got treated within 4 hours of the outbreak and even thrs I've never felt worse in my life.. They told me they were close ro putting me into coma for 3 days until my rebound this morning... Close call it seems. Glad you are alright, 7 years there was an outbreak of meningitis in one of the gyms in the south of where I live. 5 people died, all of them bodybuilders and one of them was one of my best friends. The hospital initially misdiagnosed his illness and when they realized what it was it was too late "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Woldan Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Meningitis is serious stuff, fortunately you recognized the signs soon enough. What does the immediate treatment look like?

It is a virus and its contagious, there are also two strains.

Keep your immune system strong and its morale high, this will take care of most threats, it deals with even worse stuff on a daily basis. Next time you're watching a funny sitcom laughing your butt off while drinking your beer remember your stalwart killer T-cells which never take a day off or relax. They'll be fighting on countless front lines inside your body launching one suicide attack after another against cancer cells and other monstrosities right now. Get off your butt, give the fallen heroes a silent salute and then support your troops with fresh orange juice. 1 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Malcador Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Or just do it half and half with water (or even more towards the water side). I do that with pretty much all juice.

Gromnir Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 some o' you folks might try a vodoo priestess for your medical advice 'cause you is a century or two behind the times http://www.commoncold.org/special1.htm http://www.eatingwell.com/blogs/health_blog/4_immune_boosting_myths_busted http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/boost-your-immune-system/ etc. eat a normal diet and get some minimal exercise and your immune system, while complete useless for things like the cold (your immune system overreacting to the cold virus is actual what causes cold symptoms) will be as effective as if you exercised multi hours per day and drank wacky kale and orange juice concoctions.
