#meningitisnow

Meningitis is inflammation of the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord which is normally caused by bacteria or a virus. Bacterial meningitis can be extremely severe as it includes neurological issues such as: • Vision impairment • Hearing loss • Seizures • Unfortunately the heart, kidneys and adrenal glands can also be affected. However if diagnosed and treated quickly there can be a full recovery. Viral meningitis is more common then bacterial meningitis. Viral meningitis is also known as aseptic meningitis and it is infrequently life-threatening but can leave long term side effects. Meningitis is treatable, however it can be very serious if left untreated. Common symptoms of meningitis include: • Stiffness in the neck • Sensitivity to light • Feeling irritable • Lethargic • High fever • Skin rash • Vomiting • Confusion It is extremely important to take medical action immediately if you think you are undergoing symptoms, that have been mentioned above ☝🏻 Or you have been near someone who is suffering with it. Contact your general practitioner in order to provide you with the best possible treatment and advice. . . . . #meningitis #meningitissurvivor #meningitisnow #meningitisawareness #meningitisresearch #bacterialmeningitis #lifeaftermeningitis #worldmeningitisday #meningitisuk #viralmeningitis #meningitisrecovery #meningitiswarrior #meningitissucks #spinalcord #brainmembrane #visionimpairment #hearingloss #asepticmeningitis #lightsensitivity #lethargic #skinrash #vomiting #confusion #feelingirritated #neckstiffness #healthtips #holisticpractitioner #holisticmedicine (at Richmond, Surrey, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7YUqvdAfJv/?igshid=tcm7odxtvdbh

Meningitis Disease : Symptoms, Prevention And Possible Treatments Wednesday, November 23,2016 Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges: the envelopes of the spinal cord and the brain in which the cerebrospinal fluid circulates . In most cases, meningitis is caused by a virus (viral meningitis). Meningitis can also be caused by a bacterium (bacterial meningitis). Bacterial meningitis is usually much more severe than viral meningitis and requires treatment as quickly as possible.

#proudmoment #MeningitisNow #HardWorkPaysOff #Vmlm2016 Thanks to everyone for their support! #LonDONE

Some pictures from yesterday after completing the London Marathon 2016. Very proud of this achievement and also more proud of how much we have collectively raised for @meningitis_now It was a fab day with support from all over the UK as well as across the globe from friends abroad. Thank you to everyone for their support, encouragement, donations and love over the last 11 months since I announced I was doing this. There was one constant driver throughout my marathon (even after injuring at mile 14.5) and that was my mum @elainegoate . It was her tenacity and love of life that helped her win her battle against viral meningitis in 2012, and it was that same tenacity which helped me push through to complete the marathon. Please visit my profile and click on the weblink to be taken to my fundraising page and add what you can. Every donation will help a family through their battle with meningitis. #MeningitisNow #meningitisawareness #VMLM2016 #oneinamillion #marathon #londonmarathon2016 #LegsRuined #fitness #Fundraising #family #goals #GoateDoesVMLM2016 #keepthefaith #pleasedonate #QBEFoundation #running #raisingmoney #virginmoneygiving

Well, that's one way to spend a Sunday! More #marathontraining with an 18 miler under my belt now. Considering this is training for my first marathon, every long run has ended up being 'the furthest run'. This is all in support of @meningitis_now who do amazing work in supporting those suffering from this debilitating disease as well as their families. Please consider donating what you can to my @vmgiving page and helping me to raise as much as we can so that #MeningitisNow can continue with their important work of saving lives and rebuilding futures. To read more about why I am fundraising for this charity, and to add your donation, please visit: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/andrew-goate I am grateful for every single donation that comes to my page. It will be doubled by my employers via the #QBEFoundation and will go on to help so many people. #pleasedonate #virginmoneygiving #vmlm2016 #running #training #Fundraising #colchesterrunning #runkeeper #fitness #Goals #slimmingworld #slimmingworlduk #slimmingworldmen #slimmingworldhelp #slimmingworldmafia #slimmingworldfamily #slimmingworldtreats #slimmingworldfriends #slimmingworldcommunity #slimmingworldfollowers #swuk #swmen #swarmy #swinsta #swfamily #swfriends #swcommunity #swfollowers #slimmingworldrecipes #slimmingworldmeals #swmeals #swrecipes
