COMMENTS PEOPLE HAVE SENT US

It has taken me a long time to recover and tiredness and memory lapses hinder me. I would have to admit that there have also been psychological issues.

I am 53 and contracted meningococcal septicaemia in April 2003. I am one of the lucky ones and survived without any visible effects of the disease, although I am still experiencing other symptoms like headaches, expressive difficulties and slow processing skills.

The only side effect I seem to have at this stage is loss of mobility in my ankles, and no one seems to know when or if I'll ever regain full mobility in them.

I am a 24 year old female living in Brisbane. I have struggled over the last 2 years with my general health and although I don't remember much about what I went through, the little bits I do remember are frightening, I also want to understand more about what I went through and what my family and friends went through, as they won't speak about it much.

We have been at the doctor's again tonight, Bryce is suffering headaches, and badly blocked ears and nose. I think his immune system is still very low and he gets a lot of sore throats and colds, the doctor said that a letter had come from Queensland Health regarding his hearing. They say there has been some loss.
