Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Hello Friends, I just turned 40 this August but everybody tells me I look like Im in my late 20,s.When I go out with my wife I take my cane to help steady myself,but I feel like people are looking at me and that makes my condition worse.I get stiff legged and trip alot more than usual.My wife says its all in my mind, but I had a woman come by me the other day in a store and said I was to young to be using a cane.I told her it wasnt my idea of fun either and just laughed and went on.Does anybody else have that problem or is it all in my head.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 , My spinal tap its self did not hurt it was over in a few minutes and they had me lay flat for over an hour. On the way home I started to have the worst headache I ever had and it lasted three days. What my doctor such of given me was a blood patch, I think that's what they call it. Others here have the patch and had no after effect. So I would ask your doctor about the patch and I would make them do it so you can be free of the headache from hell. I'm sure others will comment on theirs........................Flora/Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 , I can't count all the tests I have had, but i sure do remember my LP. The procedure was simple and i had no pain or problems with it but later sprung a 'leak' and got the headache. So be careful to be sure you not only lay flat as possible for a day but stay calm - for lack of a better word. I watched a funny movie and laughed so hard after mine which caused the leak which caused incredible pain and discomfort each time i tried to stand for 3, count 'em, 3 weeks! Good luck, Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Barb, If you are going to use the forms in your current breas before you go get fitted be careful as they can easily slip out.

I don't think it was noticable. Now that summer is coming I have to come up with a better form. I have a lightweight cotton form and a silicone form. The lightweight form rides up unless I have a bra with underwire or a camisole. The silicone form sometimes sags. So I either am lopsided up or down ;-)I have never gotten fitted like nne did, but I think I need to at some point. I've been using my regular camisoles/bras, but I find with the silicone form that I get a rash on my chest when I'm sweating. I guess at some point I have to go through all my bras and figure out which ones work with a form and which ones I have to get rid of.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
