My mother has menadigitis, she was in the hospital for 2 weeks and is home now with pic line for IV. She has been home for about 3 weeks, when I was visiting her today she starting slurring words and she could not move her right arm, this lasted about 8 minutes. My dad said she has had them for the past 4 days. Im just curious to weather this is normal. She was very sick with this and everybody tells us how lucky we are that she is here with us today, she has lost some hearing and vision is blurry but the slurring and loss of arm movement really caught me off guard.
Hi, your mother had meningitis. Development of slurred speech and not moving right arm are symptoms s/o brain ischemia. She needs MRI brain with diffusion study. I advise you to do MRI brain and repeat CSF exam. Thanks
