Please post your myelogram experiences

[Cheryl]

Had CT myleo on Monday,

When I asked doctor about complications, side effects etc. He said menigitis but rare, and shrugged his shoulder and said the word headache as if to say it would be no big deal. I have to admit that I had read enough to know otherwise but decided to have the procedure anyway.

Headache developed by Tuesday morning.

Its so severe in the am that I have to crawl to the bathroom. Can't take my puppy for a walk, need my husband to stay home to watch the kids.
Had to cancel my 40th bday party on Saturday which a friend put a lot of time and money into. Not that any of this matters - just explaining the severity

Headache subsides a bit my mid afternoon.

Nurse said its my choice to come in for blood patch or endure.

Not sure what to do, I can't take anything worse.

I am so over being a spine patient. Its neverending.
