Ouch!

If you want to know anything about spontaneous low CSF fluid pressure headaches, please let me know! I got to spend 2 weeks straight on my back reading up about them and then have spent another week so far recovering from the epidural blood patch to fix it.



A huuuge thanks to Jeff for taking off a ton of work, my job for being understanding of my absence, to supportive friends and family, and to my wonderful awsome parents who waited on me hand and foot during recovery. We are very thankful they made the long drive here to basically take care of us for 5 days...cooked, cleaned, grocery shopped, kept my spirits up and much more! THANKS MOM AND DAD!!

I say after this I'll never complain about another headache again...at least not one that I know what the cause and fix is. That was one of the most frustrating things about this...my doctor suspected all along that it was this type of headache but it took awhile to convince the others that that's what it was and that all I needed was the dang blood patch!

Never take your good health for granted!!

  1. Heather, We were more than happy to help out! It was the least we could do! So glad you are better now...it was so frustrating to us, too, that you had to suffer so long with that awful pain. Moms always want to "fix" their kids!!! Hope you are getting caught up at work...don't work too hard!
