Before I had the lumbar puncture I was lifting weights and it was helping massively. It’s been 2 weeks since the procedure. 1 week of bed rest and 1 week till I felt ok again. I ended up with a severe headache after the lumbar puncture and had to be on my back until it ended. Has anyone had a similar experience?
I also got my results and it was positive for the bands, I wouldn’t say I’m surprised but I am eager to getting back to working out as I find it really helps with muscle stiffness and building strength overall makes me less fatigued/more able.
I completely agree on exercise. It is good for body and soul, and I can understand that you want to get back to it as soon as possible. I do not know how soon is too soon after your post-LP troubles. But I do get it that it is very frustrating and a bit disheartening to be having even to think in those terms when one has until recently been a fit and healthy young person.
I hope that you get back to something that feels like normal very soon.

I have managed to get back to it now! And wasn’t too long before I felt like I was regaining my strength back. I just hate the periods where I can’t do it, as it really helps lessen symptoms.
