This all happened to my wife this week
I went to the ER on Monday with a sever sever headache, a fever of 102, and dizziness. They ran a whole bunch of test and everything came up negative, I ask for a CT scan but they did a spine tap on me to test me for meningitis which came up negative. But the spine tap has a 10% change of complications, which lucky me I fell into the 10% . So now the hole which they took the fluid from my spin is leaking which is giving me a even more sever headache and vomiting. I went to the ER today still running a fever, vomiting, and having even worse headaches and they wanted to preform a blood patch which is where they take my blood from my arm and put it in the hole they created in my spine so it will clot of and potentially stoping the leaking of my spinal fluid. The doctor preforming the procedure thought it would be best to wait until Friday due to the virus that my body is still fighting. So I go back in the morning on Friday for the procedure. But in the mean time I am in so much pain all I can do is lay down to relieve the pressure, because if I get of out of bed to eat or use the restroom I feel like I'm going to faint because the pain is so sever. It s hard for my to keep my food down due the the pain being so high.
