Not dead yet!

I'm thinking this is only the tip of the iceberg: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-serious-fungal-meningitis/
Apparently some steroid shots were contaminated with fungus and people died, around 2012. I certainly got shots around that time, but not from that pharmacy. Still, the problem may be larger than we think. Whenever I read up on it, I'm repeatedly confronted with "this is extremely rare." Well yeah we can label it rare and stop looking for just about anything.
I started looking into it, because once again, I tried to use probiotics and once again it proved only that my immune system is compromised. I got an end of the world migraine from it.

I hadn't even heard of that. But every single doctor I've EVER talked to has asked me "have you had meningitis in the past?" But they never bother to test.
I have both of the signs https://forum.facmedicine.com/threads/explanation-of-kernigs-sign-and-brudzinski-sign.23408/
What does it take to be diagnosed and treated for this?
