Strange but true

Well, it makes no sense but I am headache free today. If this is a mental thing I should be hurting today b/c logically speaking it shouldn't have helped to have the spinal tap. I really don't know what is going on but will call the neurosurgeon tomorrow. I'm doing a few small things out of the house today just to get a breath of fresh air and enjoy being pain free as long as it lasts. I am incredibly weak but it sure feels good not to hurt! My two big things to do are to bring Tara to the general doctor today b/c she has had a bad cough for about a month which is interrupting her sleep. Then tomorrow we see the ENT about her ear tubes. If they need to come out I hope they can do it within a few days in hopes that I will feel well enough to take care of her adequately.

We are discouraged and confused about what is happening but hoping that this means something. Clear cut answers would be so much easier! Thank you for your prayers, messages and emails of support--we appreciate you!

Sooooo glad you're pain free today!!! Yeah!! Praying this gives them some answers.

I'll manage to stop out at your house sometime before the end of the month!

Cindy,
It was so good to see you in the office yesterday with clear eyes and a normal voice volume! Praying the neurosurgeon gives you some answers today. Also praying that your blood tests are normal or that they show something that will help with your diagnosis! That is a mixed up prayer, but anything that will give you relief and answers is in our prayers!
Take Care~

Glad that were feeling a lot better, but sorry to hear that the measured numbers didn't match what you were hoping to hear.

Is there any chance that while most people are supposed to be at '20' that you need a lower ICP level, for whatever reason?
