Hi there! Did you have it today? If so, please please do me a favour and make sure you lay flat and rest for a few days while your body recalibrates. I felt fine for 36 hours and went about my business as usual, including work. Because I didn’t rest at all I ended up with the worst headache which could have been avoided if I took notice of the advice I was given x
ok so I know I'm odd but I liked my lumber puncture, it actually got rid of my constant low-level headache because it relieved the fluid pressure, as for the needle bit if you can relax into it, yes it's uncomfortable but not serious pain or bruising.
