I am having periods of confusion, memory loss and complete blackouts waking up in strange places like a shop floor. The paramedics think I am now suffering TIA's (mini strokes) so wish to take a pressure reading from my spinal fluid.

Having seen a fully grown man scream as he had his done I have said no up until now. I know I will collapse again soon but really want another view of this procedure other than the doctors clinical answers.

So what s it really like?

I have had an epidural before but I had been in labour for 32 hrs so the contractions took over any feelings I may have normally exp with such a procedure.....
