Meeting some help with the IgG old headaches and new
 

I had this long thread and it locked me out so I'm going to try and do this quickly nine years ago I had viral meningitis that attacked my nervous system leaving me with migraines all the time and cranial pain so I get 20 Botox shots three months and pain medicine for the facial part. I found out I have and you deficiency there for three years ago I started IgG and my insurance stopped it after a year and a half leaving me without it for year and a half. I started up again first time was great second time was horrible !!!! Leaving me with terrible headaches which they mention was a septic meningitis but was prolonged for two weeks by immunologist said there's no way that could be a septic meningitis which normally only last three days I ended up in the ER with an LP showing 13 WBC. My main question basically is why would the immunologist state that aseptic meningitis only last for three days however going past two weeks and still showing white blood cell count in my spinal fluid and still not feeling well. Headaches our lesson but I'm still just laying around and not feeling well any help would be deeply appreciated thank you

Hello Violet123 and welcome to NeuroTalk.

I don't have an answer for your question but hopefully someone will be along shortly that might have some idea.

Make sure you mark the "remember me" box when you sign in. That should take solve the problem...I hope ;)

Hi Violet123

Septic meningitis is usually caused by a pyrogenic bacterial infection.

Aseptic meningitis is often a diagnosis by exclusion. It can arise from a viral infection (for example enterovirus, cytomegalovirus or herpes virus - if so, these can usually be detected in CSF using the polymerase chain reaction). Sometimes aseptic meningitis can arise from a mycobacterial infection - this can be hard to detect.

These are ideas which it might be helpful for you to raise with your immunologist.

All the best.

Nice to meet you!!
