I got a lumbar puncture to test for Autoimmune diseases and ended up with major headaches because of leaking spinal fluid. Two trips to the hospital and a blood patch and I'm better. The tests we go through because of lyme are draining and discouraging.

  • I can so relate with this!! I have to go for IVs twice a week because I get dehydrated so easily and I don't have a PICC so I can't do it at home. I'm actually going for a lumbar puncture in 2 days and I am a little scared, not too bad though. =) I have to go the dr. at least 2x a week and like this week I have to go out for stuff 4x. And next week at least 3 or 4x. So yeah, I understand. Just wondering how you are doing by now. Give us an update. Good Luck!!

  • So sorry to hear your going through all this, god I hate the hospital visits when your feeling sick like that. Glad to hear the hydration helped. I'm on hydration bags and can't live without them. I do notice how much they help my dizziness and pain I definitely agree with THansen2009. I definitely herx more when I'm not getting enough fluids. Feel better Nancy and I hope you have a better week.

  • Wow! I'm so sorry to hear this. Please concentrate on drinking more fluids otherwise your herx reactions will be worse. Best of luck!

  • Hi Nancy! It was nice to chat with you tonight. Thanks for the video and keeping us posted.
