They never found the tear and it sealed itself up. That was 12 years ago and it has never happened again.<br />When I was in the greatest pain I had an MRI. The man who slid me into the machine was Asian. When I slide out the man was Scandinavian! The first guy was off on a break. What a hoot. That's now what I remember the most - the incongruity of it. <br />With the csf leak, the pain was worse when horizontal. I had to be tipped up a bit to lessen the pressure - or something like that.<br />Sending healing thoughts. My hospital roommate learned a British expression in WWII that she said meant hang in there and it's 'keep your pecker up'! That's what I wish for you.weavinfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479719533728863947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-83580105272251560722011-11-26T09:21:51.770-05:002011-11-26T09:21:51.770-05:00I am so glad you 'squeaked' loudly and ada...I am so glad you 'squeaked' loudly and adamantly and got an earlier appointment...it is well beyond time for answers!

Frustrating as hell? yeah. I told you I had a headache for six months. Cat Scan, MRI, blah blah blah... it all came down to what we will assume was a muscle tension headache, which is all anyone could come up with. It eventually went away on it's own, with the help of the muscle relaxant I told you about. And THAT took a while. <br /><br />SO.. don't think the worst. It could be just a pain in the a** that will resolve with time.

About twice a year I have cluster migraines that have lasted anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 or more weeks.<br /><br />Just because something hurts a lot does not mean whatever is causing it is serious. Sometimes pain even feeds on itself and winds up being much worse than the original "organic" cause.<br /><br />I hope you get this resolved very soon.Karen Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306986336556283751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-5885015243909387632011-11-25T23:31:28.602-05:002011-11-25T23:31:28.602-05:00Hilary, I don't know much about medical things...Hilary, I don't know much about medical things but I have some strong feelings/knowledge about dog things, about what they can do for us. They are doG. They can take us out of ourselves - if even for a few moments - and elevate our spirit to all the places our spirit needs to go. <br /><br />I'm a migraine sufferer, from waaaaay back. Not to compare that with anything that is presenting to you, but just to say I have much empathy for being overtaken by something I can't seem to control. Fur + four paws is one big glorious blessing.

I still remember my dad suffering from cluster migraines in the 60's--His face would turn beet red and one eye (only one) would tear continuously. My mom would bring ice packs and he would take BC powders. He would have these headaches every fall and spring. Later when put on beta blocker Inderol) his Dr. told him he would never have one of those headaches again--He didn't!<br /><br />Hope the the headache resolves soon. I'm one of those people who cannot do the MRI--I would have to be unconscious!<br />VStickhorsecowgirlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167094045033324094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-62815507240558982712011-11-25T22:12:22.060-05:002011-11-25T22:12:22.060-05:00First time I had a MRI it scared me so much..

Usually she is a bit dehydrated and they give her some fluids and she is fine. This time they said the blood work is funny, she may have bone cancer. Nope, not bone cancer, maybe you have lung cancer. Nope. Hmmmm. Finally an older doctor came in and said. You have an arthritic neck. I will put you in a soft neck collar and you will feel fine in two hours.

MRIs are indeed unpleasant and seem to take forever. Claustrophobia doesn't help. The music they play did though. ;)<br /><br />If one doctor saw very inflamed sinuses, and your headaches intensify at night could it be something in your room that you're reacting to? Feather comforter or pillows.. the dust mites.
