Just wanted to post that I had my lumbar puncture today and I was so terrified but it was fine!!! Anyone waiting for one, I honestly thought I was going to vomit I was so scared everytime I thought about it but actually once I was there my nurse was so great, I had a sharp scratch when she did the deep anaesthetic but no other pain!!! I was constantly breathing deeply and very anxious but actually it was fine, my advice is just let them know if it hurts and keep talking and asking questions if you need!
I’m currently lying down and aching no head ache yet but keeping hydrated and drinking lots, especially full fat coke!
