I still haven't got my results yet...
![]() I did have some questions though. I haven't had a headache, and after the horrendous pain from that spinal tap shots - I have just felt exhausted. I'm not one to drink caffeine, but the doctor suggested I drink it this week, so I am. Been almost a year since I had caffeine, so yesterday I had some Coca-Cola, and I'm drinking Dr Pepper today :P Now, I'm so glad that I don't have that terrible headache I've heard of people having after a ST, but does it happen immediately after the ST or after a few days? I started earlier today feeling a small one coming on, but it's kind of eased out when I started drinking my Dr Pepper. I was in a lot of pain before the ST, but when they did the ST - the pain shifted lol from the pain before to the needle in my back haha. Last night also - I had some weird crazy dreams. I mean crazy. My body also went from extreme hot to extreme cold, on and off - which after I woke up this morning I was ok. Most of the day today I have just felt so tired, and exhausted - but not sleepy. I know I can take estazolam at 2mg, and it will knock me out for a good 8-12 hours. I hate laying in my bed staring at the ceiling - tired but can't sleep. I tell you the only thing I was thinking after that spinal tap was Thank God it was over. Can you tell me your experiences after your spinal tap - and what I should be aware of? How many days does some side effects last-- |
