After Meningitis - Oriana's Story

When Oriana had a headache and first started feeling ill she shrugged it off. When the headache caused facial paralysis she knew something was terribly wrong and immediately went to the hospital. Watch Oriana describe her experiences with meningitis and what her life #AfterMeningitis is like.

Not sure if you read that hope your vision returned, i was a very good poet/artist the meningitis made me stop being able to do any of it... I could fill books and feel now i cant anymore, i write 4 lines and just feel its worthless and stupid based on what i did before, it took a part of me that was my sensitive part now im a robot and hard, not bad as such but not what i know i was different before....

Hi Michael, that's such a shame and must be incredibly frustrating for you. I hope you can get back to your poetry and art one day - don't give up hope. I want you to know that you are not alone in all this. You can reach out to the Meningitis Research Foundation (which we are a part of), who support anyone affected by meningitis. Their dedicated team can be reached via [e-mail] .
