Meningitis can really only be ruled out with a lumbar puncture- this is a test of the fluid that circulates around your brain and spine. If you doctor feels your symptoms warrant this testing, it will likely occur in the hospital or some Neurologist offices.
You are not supposed to be on Benzodiazepine (Clonazepam) for that long of a period. Please check up the side effects of Clonazepam, and go see your prescribing Physician with that list.

Be well!

You need to see a physician NOW. Green diarrhea? What did you eat that was green? Could be food poisoning. Could be viral meningitis, but you will not know until you see a medical doctor pronto and let them run some tests. Losing 9lbs because you cannot eat -- why are you reading this? You should have made the appointment or headed to ER by now.
The time to see a doctor is now, when you are sick. Lots of possibilities. Weight loss of 9 pounds in 5 days is of concern. Viral meningitis is a possibility. So are a number of gastrointestinal reasons such as infections and intrinsic GI diseases. Get evaluated by a doc who know what he or she is doing.

Yes, your friend could be right.

But, you really need rest, hydration and probably I.V. And electrolyte supplements and soft food.
