Please help! In agony after 3 weeks

I collapsed in work 3 weeks ago, was vomiting and really hot. They phoned an ambulance & got taken into hospital, they said my blood pressure was low and did a ct scan which was clear they did 2 lumbar punctures which did not work and because of the headache I had (still have) which is like somebody sitting on my head and the pain goes down my neck to my lower left and down my back on the left side. They tried 3 times & then admitted me I was in for 4 days and they finally did another lumbar puncture by X-ray. They said it was clear and I was let home that Saturday, when I got home I was vomiting everywhere still had the headache and back pain which was horrible, it stayed like that until the friday. My doctor had signed me off for another week in work until the following Monday, went into work Monday still have back pain but headaches had gone,but yesterday had to ring in sick again as all the symptoms are back again in full force, vomiting, headache twice as bad, back pain which is going down my left side and numbness, pins and needles down my leg, and lower back is killing me. I'm scared I will get sacked from work as I already had a meeting due to being off and this will be my fourth sickness in the last year. My doctors aren't really bothered all he knows is its just symptoms from the lumbar puncture?? Well I can't afford to lose my job but also cannot go into work like this! Can somebody help?? Xx
