Hi guys, Can you match or beat mine?? My hubby was found beside his lorry on Fri morn, he had collasped and no-one knew the reason. He was in so much pain that they thought it was a bleed on the brain or even a tumour. CT scan came back clear, they then did lumbar puncture for bacterial meningitis, fortunately that came back clear. All he remembers is being violently sick and his vision was like a kaleidescope. I think he had a VERY severe migraine. He's not allowed to drive until further tests, so has been signed off work for a month to start with. We live in Maidstone, Kent, he took ill at Clackett Services so was taken to Redhill hosp so spent all weekend trolleying back and forth. Very glad to get him home, has made both of us aware that we do take each other for granted. Julie
