I posted this in another section already. One more try for a few more responses. Thanks!
I have been in the ER three times in the past 6 days. The initial thought was meningitis, but after a clear spinal tap I was sent home. I have since returned for extreme headaches twice, finally treated with a blood patch last night.
current symptoms:
hot flashes
low grade fever
nausea
lack of appetite
headaches (self-treated by 400 mg of caffeine as needed and up to 800 mg ibupofen--afraid they will be as extreme as before--trying to prevent)
fatigue
stiff neck (not severe though)
extreme back pain (from epidural)
recently finished an antibiotic for a sinus infection (2 days before initial ER visit)
BP was 103/36 yesterday
Pulse was 47
moderate sensitivity to light and noise
irritablity
weight 110
height 5'9"
Initial symptoms included:
chills
fever
sensitivity to light and noise
nausea with severe vomiting
Likely to call doc in the morning.
