I am in the same boat. I had blood patch Friday and I feel wiped out and
my head feels like I am on a plane with bad compression. I have lost 5 days of work and I haven't even started to receive treatment for my actual issue.

The myelogram/blood patch has irritated my back (nerves) and seems to be causing me dehydration. Not sure how much more water I can possiblly drink.

If this test causes all these issues, why are they doing it? I am not clear on how much more a ct scan allows over a simple MRI?

You are not alone and I have called the symptoms into my doc office.
Lets see what they do!

I do wonder how many of you had you were unable to lift your head for 4 days before the patch was ordered and what this really was all about. yes, I had a headache, but it was the pain in my neck that was terrible.
