Im 43 had meningitis type B at 13 ive had stiff joints and depression since. I also have a nearly constant headache it varies at best bearable at worst very intence if often said i could drill a hole in my head with the headache i get a lot of pain in left eye socket sometimes blurred vision and dizziness and one or both eyes can be bloodshot. Last time i was at the doctors i asked if a MRI scan would be the way to go, ive never had one, do you think i should have a scan ?
