Mine was in 1998 and I had just returned from deer hunting in Canada. Started with massive headache's, lost the use of my left eye (made me feel great seeing that I'm a photographer), partial paralysis of my left arm and hand, puking days on end just from the pain. Two spinals, two hours on a table for MRI's, a bizzilion blood test (I used to hate needles but compared to the pain it was a joke now), they finally narrowed it down to bacterial menengitis. Took me almost two years to finally shake it and still I swear some days when I'm way over extending myself (lack of sleep especially) I think I still can feel something not just right, like a very very mild headache in the same region as where the infection was. Doc's say it's phycosymatic. What a putz......
