Meningitis: What are your experiences?

How long have you been dealing with this? Five days ago, I had this pounding headache that lasted all day. I finally crawled into bed, took some Advil, and thought I was fine. Then I woke up the next morning feeling absolutely wrecked—sore throat, fever spiking somewhere between 102 and 105 degrees, a killer headache, and my neck was incredibly stiff. I went to the ER, but they basically just handed me some throat lozenges and antibiotics and sent me on my way. My fever finally broke yesterday, but this headache won't quit. Should I head back to the clinic?
