It's kind of crazy for me to see.
Tilly LockieSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Meningitis is a disease that builds and kills extremely fast, and there seriously didn't seem like there was much hope for me.
Tilly LockieSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But obviously, I am here today, and it was after one week in intensive care three weeks in recovery, a second reinfection, which I later contracted, and 10 blood transfusions that somehow I managed to pull through, I survived, and I'm here today.
Tilly LockieSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

How about horizontal persistent gaze evoked nystagmus at eccentric gaze? The central causes are brainstem cerebellum stroke, hemorrhage tumor, demyelinating lesions, drug intoxications, first episode of vestibular migraine, But that requires immediate referral to a stroke center until you prove with imaging you don't have a stroke.

Now, we're involved with ACT, Siobhan in ACT for Meningitis, and she's involved with the World Health Organization, and really what we're trying to do is create awareness, obviously, because the younger age group, toddlers, the 18 to 24, which is the college age, freedom, great life, away from home, and the elderly are the most prone.
Maria O'DonnellGUEST
But what Siobhan and ACT are doing at the moment is trying to get a vaccine into every practice into all the schools, you know, that can help people to fight this.
