How’d it go?
Just got home. I’m having a lumbar puncture done to find how high the pressure is before they put me on medication. He was surprised I wasn’t struggling with severe headaches until I pointed out the meds I’m on and that nothing hurts like CRPS pain lol. He also said they rarely diagnose from an mri but the radiographer had been adamant about what the ‘changes’ were. The appt will be fast tracked so weeks rather than months.
Are you ok?
What does that mean about the "changes"? Are you OK? Are you resting?
I’m not exactly sure what changes he meant but he said they are indicators of IIH which the radiographer (who he rates) insisted pointed to a diagnosis. He said they normally diagnose from symptoms but, given the CRPS and pain meds, the symptoms are being masked. He’s expecting the pressure results from the lumbar puncture to be pretty high. The only thing that worries me about the lumbar puncture is i have to lay on my side - which I haven’t done in 5 years! But I’ll manage
At one point, he turned to Si and said ‘your wife’s determined, isn’t she’ ;)
I’m ok, have been working but chilling now. Think I might grab a sneaky drink
And why not indeed. I’d say you’ve earned it.
Definately earned a drink and hope your now chilling out and snuggled up resting
"Determined?" (rofl)(rofl)(rofl)
