My new PM doc is great so far. I'm still in pain. However I'm finally out of bed! In early January I had my second Blood Patch. He suspected I had another leak. I was skeptical but I went ahead with the procedure. My debilitating headaches and light sensitivity are gone.
Now we are working on increasing the dosage on the pump. This process was not fully explained before I signed up for this thing inside of me. What's very troubling is I still have a long way to go before we hit the sweet spot for pain relief.
More to come.....

Dear Dave
Your update put a smile on this face
Soooo happy to hear you get some respite
as you go through your increase
As a opioid recipient who is now weaning off of Xanax
It is a difficult thing when one has so many allergies and side affects I am not surprised
Not am I surprised you were not told everything to expect
May I ask
While on the increase
Is there any meds by mouth you can take to ease into it
I just want to say
I wish that your relief comes soon
Praying all will work out in the end
Me
