What does everyone think of meningitis?

[GrumpyGreg]

1. Odd question. It is a bad thing of course.

[haydukelives]

2. Yes, bad

?

[EstimatedProphet]

3. OK, so long as we all agree.

[CarpeDiebold]

4. Au contraire

it pays my bills :D

[LaurenG]

5. Bacterial or viral

Either way it's no fun. I thought I'd kick your thread because it's funny.

6. I worked with a guy who got Sarcoid meningitis

While working on my Ph. D. I was in a parasitology lab, and the lab manager got sarcoid meningitis. Took a year of steroid injections and spinal taps to get him better. In the meantime, the faculty member we worked for sent him out to collect Crypto samples with a disfunctional immune system! D'OH!

[LaurenG]

7. Ack - crypto can be another cause of meningitis

Poor lab manager. After steroids too. That isn't funny.

8. Smile on mighty Jesus

Spinal meningitis got me down

9. I prefer women in skimpy underthings.

[EstimatedProphet]

10. Well that's a stretch

So you would rather have a woman around you in a negligee than a case of meningitis? Boy is that ever weird!

[tuvor]

11. Oh, a CASE of meningitis.

Is that, like, booze? I'm so there.

[EstimatedProphet]

13. Maybe, but you Canadians think a twelve pack is a case!

:P

[tuvor]

15. Because that's all it takes, my friend.

Assuming you're referencing our respective beers, that's all it takes.

:P :P

;)

16. Compared to Bud/Miller/Coors/mass-market pap, you're right

But I will stack my treasured Sam Adams Pale Ale up against other beers of quality.

12. SUCKS big time!

Having had it once, I know. Worst goddamned headache EVER. It hurt to blink my eyes, and walking was absolute agony. I was so f-ing happy when I finally got over it.

[EstimatedProphet]

14. I bet it did

The guy i worked with had double vision. He said when they performed a spinal tap it actually came out UNDER PRESSURE-it spurted!
