Fungal meningitis? Should I go to the doctors ?
I’ve taken four antibiotics courses (2 strong ones) within the past 6 months. Around December 2020, I developed a fuzzy head feeling when I’m laying down. In February 2021, two times I developed stiff neck (went away) however I’ve been having a slight achy neck but it’s not stiff.
Now recently the fuzzy head feeling been constant and it just feels weird when I’m laying down. I say fungal meningitis because I have like pink mold (I think? Several pink spots on the ceiling of my restroom for years. I just cleaned it off recently when I came to the conclusion that it could be mold)
Since my immune system was so low with the antibiotics. I fear fungal meningitis but it’s been months, no fever, slight headache. Just slight neck pain and weird head feeling. I’m 20 btw with no other health problems
I had an MRI in January 2021 (all clean)

My head feels weird today too because of spring pollen.
I think you are doing a gigantic leap to say it's fungal meningitis.
Have you tried allergy meds?

Your fears seem real, but the fact that your self diagnosed condition is very, very rare.
Who treated you with four different antibiotics?? I hope that a responsible provider would have a clear, identified target to use antibiotics.
If you want a clear answer, you may feel much more relieved after getting a normal result of a lumbar puncture (spinal tap).
