I have to ask you after you had your spinal tap did you lay down flat on your back. I ask you this because I was told to do this but I didn’t the second day I felt really good so I did laundry. A BIG NO NO. I ended up with a headache 🤕 as big as my house let me tell you I don’t have a big house. I was told to lay down for three days on my back I didn’t. Next time I’m told to do something like that I will do it. I hope you feel better.

This is beginning to be a problem seems nowadays.. inform your doc they might have to do a procedure if there is spinal fluid leaking.. take this seriously.
