Cheryl,
I'm glad you're feeling better too. I also get horrific headaches whenever I get LP's so the last few times, we've done a blood patch in anticipation of the headache and I've done just fine. The first LP I had was so awful that I literally had to crawl to the loo from bed and then had to keep my head down the entire time I was on the commode. I was pretty new to the states and was living in NYC and was scared to death as it was. Five minutes after I had the blood patch test, I sat up and walked out of hospital on my own volition. I've had 2 since and would never have one now without having a blood patch done at the same time.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone. It's thundering like mad here. Perhaps we'll get some much needed rain.
All the best,

Thanks Chris! I've had 4 LPs now. 2 with the headache and 2 without. I am waiting for the results to apply my theory on why I get a headache. Then I will let you all know what it is....
This is the last one. ever.
We have some Brit friends and just love their sense of humor! I just roar sometimes cuz you are right - most of the humor goes right over most people's heads! That part is usually the most entertaining!
