WELCOME to NT!
You've found a wonderful place of support and understanding.
I'm sorry you are having these struggles.
There are several forums here that will probably be of great benefit. I'm thinking that the Spinal forum might be the one to start at with your question about spinal tap.
Here's the link to get you there:

I hope you can start getting some answers soon.
While you wait to get responses, you might want to check out the 'Search' feature toward the top of the page. Type in a word(s) of interest, and it'll bring up posts from past discussions.
It's great to have you!
Caring
