LP-headache, I want to scream

[Sunnytoday]

It's worse when I stand up. The only thing that makes it better is when i lay on my side. Yes, it's worse than yesterday if that's even possible. I have migraines, and this is the worst one I've ever had in my life. Just tell me how to get rid of it please. who do i call, NYU or the lab?

What is causing it? If it is leak would you see it?????? my mom wants to know. I'm laying down now, and my handy laptop is on my tummy,

If I stand up I get short of breath and gaspy, i think it's from the pain.

i hope you don't mind i started a new thread, i needed you to hear me.

any words of advice would be welcome.

i just want to be done with this, i can't scream becuase it would hurt more. It hurts and is even hard to swallow. My eyes are still a bit swollen but they do look a lot better from yesterday.

the only tiny bit of relief i can find is to lay on my side. my back still hurts that way and sounds like popcorn when i breathe but ti's a lot better than that awful pain in my head that just makes me want to breathe funny, and throw up and everything. I took my migraine meds this morning, Frova, and i haven't felt anything from it yet. Bummer.

not very sunny at all, in a lot of pain, and blurry eyes,

I'm typing with my 'puter on my tummy. Doesnt exactly lead to great spelling or great vision of the screen.

I'm so SORRY.

I LOVE you all, and why would i post, UNLESS to have you all boss me around and tell me what to do, comfort me, etc.

checking in here so you guys don't APB me again.

You can't boss away, i will try to listen, no promises, my folks take good care of me though.

Is chills normal with this kind of head-ache,

On a scale of one to ten, i've got a head-ache of eleven. I've only felt pain this one twice in my life, and that was when i broke a bone and had to have my gallbladder removed. Am i describing the pain ok? To be specific. Very, very bad.

Doc. number three called in pain meds. Am praying they work.

Mom didn't want to call NYU becuase she didn't think they could do anything down here, with them so far. I away, i disagreed, but don't feel like arguing... if i think in more than one or two sentences i either laugh or cry.... and that's when i'm flat. Standing up, i moan or yell or just fall over...

Very, very long week-end ahead. Please, don't worry to much. I hate to worry you.

We will hang in there, and if it's not better, we will call again. And i think maybe Elaine gave me an e-mail address for NYU? If i'm not too fuddled i'll use it and maybe i'll get a reply on monday.

I hope you don't get tired of being bossed around, but GO TO THE HOSPITAL.  I havn't been around enough to know everyone's story, but I don't know of many who had a headache for more than 48 hours who didn't need a patch.  

Especially since you have additional issues,  I think an medical opinion about how much your head hurts is a good idea.

I have no idea if it a painful procedure, but even if it is for a few minutes, it would be worth it to get rid of that terrible headache.

I hate to disagree with Elaine (sorry Sweetie, you know I love and respect you) but a blood patch is not supposed to be painful. I had one and it was NOT painful. If it is painful, they're doing it wrong.

Believe me, this skinny old body feels pain intensely and they did give me anesthesia before the blood patch. I felt better, after the blood patch almost immediately.

I am with Fluffysmom. You need relief and if you were a dog yelping in pain you would get help so call NO GO! to the Dr and demand something be done. BTW after all of this is over, you need to do a formal complaint against the Dr who did the puncture and then the hospital for that seeming to be their standard of care.


I do hope that you get well soon.

Oh, sunny, you sound so totally miserable.  I agree about you calling the Dr in NY and letting him know what is happening with you.

I'm sending gentle, soothing thoughts to you.  I hope the pain will lessen shortly.
