That helps,
Yes, I know about the sweats and chills. They can get really extreme.
I think I might have chronic meningitis or something like it.
I abs. do not want a lumbar puncture, having had three.
Two resulted in a spinal headache, and after the last one, when the doctor did the blood patch, he hit a nerve, but then they kicked me out of the ER, bc I had never been a patient there, and I could barely get to a hotel. I was taking my LLMD's Tylenol and codeine, which helped a little, but it was awful.
I'm hoping that treatment, which I plan to start again next week, at a much slower pace, will help.
