head update
So as you may or may not know on Thursday I had a spinal tap. (which btw came back fine, all the fluid and pressure tests are perfect, juts like I said they would be) And now I am on day 4, 5? idk anymore of bedrest. I can't sit or stand without feeling like my head is going to explode. Right now, my head is slightly elevated so I can type, and it is teh suck.
Anyways.... so yeah I've been to the ER twice. I was going to have a blood patch to address this headache issue, but since the LP had to be done under xray there is no way they can do the blood patch unless they do it that way..... so I have pain meds and another 2 days excused from work if need be.
I hope this goes away soon. I cant even do simple things like making a cup of tea without it draining me.
