I have a spinal slap which showed that nearby be blood surrounded by my spinal cord!!?

On Saturday (July 5) i woke up and had a horrible headache i went to the emergency room where they declared that i might enjoy VIRAL MENINGITIS! They took blood found out my white blood count was a little high. They subsequently did a SPINAL TAP WHERE THEY WOULD FIND BLOOD IN MY SPINAL CORD. The doctors kept saying that there was swelling on my brain/spinal cord and that i needed morphine for my headache. I would subsequently go for a CT of my head. I'm not sure what that showed. I was somewhat drugged off morphine. They ended up admitting me to the hospital. On Tuesday (July 8) I have a more detailed CT of my head. I have no idea what that showed. The nurses and doctors kept stressing going on for the blood in my spinal cord that they have found. (4 years before [2004] i have viral meningitis they did a spinal tap then and found blood in my spinal cord. i be a little irritated that no one had stressed that in that was blood in my spinal cord. and that for 4 years i would suffer from headaches.)
Hi again,
I posted a reply to your other quiz a few minutes ago... reading this one, I suggest you gather ALL of your previous test results and make an appointment beside a neurologist who will then look at all of your results and come up with a treatment plan.
If you see a different doctor every time, noner of them will know what the previous ones did and why...
You hold legal rights to get hard copies of your oral exam results - all you have to do is go final to the clinic or hospital and ask for copies.

I am a bit disturbed by you saying that you have no idea of what some of your test showed (unless you are a minor, and in that case your parents should have that information). It is an out-and-out must for your to know what is going on with your body. Otherwise you cannot speak up for yourself if you are not receiving proper care.
It is immensely sad but our health care system have become a profit making business, doctors seem to be more interested in how you will be paying than in how they can assistance you...
Stay informed and if you are not getting the attention that you deserve, go to a different doctor. There are still some good ones in the rotten bunch.

Best of luck!
These are no children's diseases but highly serious. The spinal area if infected with a virus is very insecure. To have a virus for 4 years is possible but the virus must be very weak. The virus if in that is living on body parts that are the communication center from the body to the mind. These virus infections are the most painful and hard to diagnose because the symtoms show up as other problems rather than a viral infection. In the CT they be looking for abnormalities like a tumor that might be the cause of your headache. The only remedy I know of is to put hot packs on the spinal column and a cold pack to the head for 3 minutes and to follow near a cold mitten over the hot area for one minute repeating this three times.morning and evening every day for 10 days. There may be antibiotics that will deal beside the virus a doctor would have to help you with that. I'll be praying for your complete taking back. blood in the test can be from the initial poke of the spinal needle. if you have meningitis for that long you would be dead.
