So sorry Beauty -
Your ordeal sounds similar to mine - it was the 3rd day when I got the headache. I was well hydrated before and after the LP but still got the headached. My Neuro immediately went for the blood patch and it was amazing how quickly it worked (thank goodness) !!!

The blood patch stick however, hurt way more than the original LP but at that point I didn't care - I just needed relief.

Glad you are back up and going !
