That's a good point Becca - I wonder if others do have it. Mark, do you know if a MRI or CT scan would show intracranial pressure? Best of luck with your LP Becca.
Kim, your ordeal sounds terrible. Although I get some bad headaches that go on for days, they are not as bad as what you went through. Sounds like the experience is very much like a bad migraine (staying in dark room, needing assistance to walk, can't be touched). I'm very fortunate in that my migraines have improved greatly over the years. I cannot imagine how you went through that level of pain for such an extended time. So glad you have some releif from that!
Like you, I was very active and worked as mgr in a fast paced, multi-tasking environment and since my TBI, I've been a couch potatoe. Even walking makes me dizzy.
I recently started going to the swimming pool. I'm not very active there, but simply dog-paddling in the water and floating on my back soothe my senses/brain a lot and it gives me a little exercise that is not too strenuous. You might want to try that (with a buddy in case you don't feel well). You also will not have to worry about any jarring to your brain and body.
