Hey @louise_ransome, great to get that over with. Even though you are fine today, keep resting and laying flat for a few days to avoid the dreaded headache. This is whilst your spinal fluid tops up. If you haven't got an MS nurse you can call, maybe check with your GP? I can't even remember having a gauze....
Hope ur ok!!
