Shortly before being diagnosed with terminal cancer, his pain was so horrible that he went to the ER and had "an injection in his spine.

Unprecedented 'black mold' meningitis a challenge

"Serious infections tend to strike people with immune systems weakened because of cancer, AIDS or other problems. Fungus-caused meningitis in particular is extremely rare— especially in otherwise healthy people like in this outbreak — and it's 'very bad news,' said Michigan's Kauffman."

It's so depressing to read the news of these deaths in the United States. If my husband had come down with meningitis from tainted steroids, I'd be an absolute wreck. And who knows? Those steroids were sent to our hospital!

In addition to the 377 cases of meningitis, the CDC said there also were nine reported cases of infections after a potentially contaminated steroid was injected into a joint such as a knee, hip, shoulder or elbow, bringing the total number of infections nationwide to 386.
