Regarding Spinal Meningitis?

When I was first born in 1981 I had Spinal Meningitis and was told that I was dead for some time(I don't really know) And now as an adult I have been experencing Dizzy spells all the time (multipule times a day), vomiting, sever head aces, numbness in my hands and feet, confussion, frogetfullness. The dizzy spells are either long(hours) or short (10-15min) and they go either way they are "spinning"(like I'm spining in a circle) or "rolling"(as like when your TV picture is rolling). The doctors tell me that I have spots on my brain and two spots of scar tissue(from an cat scan). So with that said is the symptoms that I'm expereancing now a cause of the Spinal Meningitis I had when I was a new born, and what can I do to help myself and will I be this way for the rest of my life?

and I also have hearing loss in my right ear.

The spots on your brain may or may not be causing your symptoms now, it depends where in the brain they are located. They could possibly be a result of the Meningitis you had as an infant but there is no test that can determine for sure what caused the spots.

If your doctor has done a CAT scan, I am sure he has done other tests. Has your doctor told you anything about the spots? You have the right to know everything he has found out about the spots. Ask him to explain it in a way you understand. He is the one who can help you understand if these spots are causing your symptoms and he is the one who will know if anything can be done to help you get through this tough time in your life. If you don't feel like he is helping you feel better, insist on more tests, or ask him for a recomendation for a second opinion. Surely there is something that can be done to fix the problem or some medication that will help you feel better.
