Meningitis Diary - Paris, Sunday March 2nd, 17:00

"L" sends me an email which contains the first hint of what is to come ...

... I think I've just gone down with the bubonic plague. To add insult to injury, I was laying in bed reading for a couple of hours this afternoon, and when I got up it felt like I'd broken my back. Now it even hurts to breathe. That, coupled with low energy levels, is a brilliant combination!

I reply that it sounds like she has contracted the flu, and wish her a speedy recovery. She takes two Ibuprufen tablets, and goes to bed.
