Update, in a word, ouch.

Got my spine tapped yesterday, and came through the process just fine, if a little tenderized...I should get the results next week. As messed up as this may sound, I hope they find something. I've been xrayed, magnetically resonated, and shot full of dyes so far, and nothing conclusive has come to light as the cause of my headaches, which have become progressively worse. This was the next step, and if it doesn't find anything, I'm not sure what the next step will be, maybe open brain exploratory? Yikes...

Eef! I hope they find something easily cured or at least managed, Robert!

Kyrvias · 12-06-2005, 11:32 AM

Likewise.

Damn man, surely the procedures they just went through would surely find something, I hope so, because I doubt the next steps would be cheap, and are not guaranteed to actually find anything

Anyways, good luck with that

Wowsa! I sure hope it stops before the next step, man. Hope things go well for you.

Have you tried tylenol?

*thumps Sir Degrader with a rotten fish* Hey now! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Any more news RtB?

If you need any help with the brain surgery I can get you real cheap rate on that.

But I hope things work out for you. Nothin worse than going through life with pain like that.

[img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img] I hope they find what is causing your headaches RtB. Not knowing what is wrong is the worst part.

Inconclusive results are a real pain. When I had a seizure a few years ago the doctors could not explain why it occured.

As I explained to a co-worker later "They examined my skull every which way: X-rays, EEG, CAT scan, magnetic resonance- and they still couldn't find anything..."

"...wrong with me!" I quickly added, realizing my mistake. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
